WHY SHOULD I VOLUNTEER?
This is an opportunity to show the very healthcare providers you aspire to become the quality service you will one day provide to your patients!
Volunteers will receive recognition in the form of a letter of recommendation, volunteer hours certificate, and we are also working on reimbursement for travel and food costs. Because we are a group of medical students currently relieved from clinical duties due to COVID-19, we are also in the process of launching a summer enrichment program for pre-health students where they will receive peer mentorship and networking opportunities along with an option to engage in clinical skills workshops.
Sign up to volunteer today by visiting mdcovidsitters.org and clicking "I'm a Student" at the top!

WHY IS THERE A NEED?
Currently, essential healthcare workers are severely burdened in many ways. They are faced with increasing number of critically ill patients, longer work hours, shortages of personal protective equipment, and are unable to meet basic necessities to support their families such as childcare and errands.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to serve healthcare providers and other essential workers, patients, and communities in the state of Maryland during the coronavirus outbreak.

We want to start by helping those on the frontlines of COVID-19 who need help managing their household. Our caregivers provide in-person tutoring, babysitting, online tutoring, pet-walking/sitting, grocery runs, and errands. It takes a village!
