Education Transforming Community Health (ETCH) is currently recruiting volunteers for the summer! If you are interested in joining us, please email etchseattle@gmail.com with the subject line ‘Summer 2015 ETCH Volunteer’ expressing your interest. We will return your email with an interest survey for you to complete, and we can go from there.
Thank you!
Here is a little more information about our group:
• We are an interdisciplinary student project associated with SHIFA, a non-profit organization based out of UWSOM.
• We offer weekly health education sessions to homeless adults in downtown Seattle. Through our community partnerships, we strive to create health education curriculum that bridges evidence-based practice and the voices of the many homeless communities in Seattle. We aim to provide knowledge, skills, and tools to improve the quality of life of our participants.
• Weekly sessions offer volunteers a great opportunity to connect with members of homeless communities while expanding your knowledge of preventative care, health systems, and social justice.
• We ask that volunteers participate in at least one session per month for at least 6 months – though if you’re interested in being more involved we also have more opportunities for volunteering, leadership, and advocacy.
If you have any other questions, please direct them to etchseattle@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you! Best, Lakshmi Panjini ETCH Volunteer Coordinator
