Public Health Meeting
Health Leads is an amazing fellowship opportunity for students who are interested in public health. The Health Leads volunteers are a select corps of passionate, committed undergraduates who prioritize making a real impact with their service work. Volunteers dedicate at least 6 hours each week to Health Leads. Most continue with Health Leads from the day they start until the day they graduate, with over 70% of non-graduating students choosing to continue with Health Leads each year.
All volunteers receive extensive training from Health Leads staff and physicians, social workers, and community leaders prior to beginning their work with families and participate in ongoing trainings throughout their time as volunteers.
What makes Health Leads a different from other volunteering options and internships?
Our students get a unique opportunity to work directly with families and doctors who live and work in areas of major public health issues. Students are working with these issues at grass roots levels and are making a major impact on the lives of the families we help. Students are not just making copies or running errands, but actually confronting major public health issues on a day to day basis.
