Volunteer Guide: Community Wellness Initiative (CWI)

Be the reason someone smiles, learns, or heals today.

Are you passionate about health, community service, and making a real difference? The Community Wellness Initiative (CWI) is your chance to contribute to meaningful change in both urban and rural communities where health education and access to care are limited.

Whether you're a pre-med student, a nurse, a public health enthusiast, or simply someone with a heart for service - this program is for you.

• Give interactive health talks on topics like hygiene, nutrition, HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health.
• Visit schools, community centers, and local gatherings to share lifesaving information in simple, relatable ways.
• Lead fun, educational activities and awareness campaigns during health-focused days and events.

• Work alongside local health professionals in mobile clinics.
• Help with registration, triage, medication dispensing, or counseling.
• Note: Clinical roles (e.g., taking vitals, assisting in exams) are only open to licensed professionals.

• Help collect and organize health data during outreach programs.
• Support patients by explaining treatments, medications, or follow-up instructions in an easy-to-understand way.
• Contribute to improving patient records and health reports.

• Visit homes to provide companionship, help with daily routines, or deliver wellness supplies.
