Volunteer Program

The Volunteer programs goal is to create a self-sustaining community of volunteers to produce content, educational materials, and manage the creation of products, for kids to utilize and learn about public health. This content will be created following two frameworks in mind that will follow steps to help retention and - a wider understanding of overall health literacy as kids grow.

How the program works!

1- The volunteer program works as a network of cores and each core has subject matter/products in which they will work towards completing. This network of cores, interacts with each other to complete the overall goal/mission of PHM and that will be done by producing products respective to your applied/assigned core, where you will choose roles/responsibilities that align with your expertise or an area in which you are interested in developing new skills. For example, if you are in the PHM core, (list roles/resp./products of this core) you may be an artist who can illustrate comic books, or a writer; who can create great narrative stories derived from (researchers/subject matter experts public health related) who will provide the material needed to be included for a lesson. As you see here, there can be multiple people who work together to complete one product, but also, if someone wants to take on multiple roles to complete a larger portion of a product, they can do so. There is no limit to how much you may volunteer or try other areas/cores/products to further your own growth and help streamline the process of achieving PHMs goals!

2- Once you begin your volunteer path, you will work at a self paced speed, where you set the limits to how frequent, how long, where and when you work. Although it is self-paced, there will be a monthly re
