COVID STUDENT SERVICES CORPS:
We are actively seeking students (undergraduate and graduate) to participate in the Carolina Covid Student Services Corps, which connects students to volunteer opportunities to serve our Chapel Hill community and keep UNC Chapel Hill students, faculty, and staff safe. We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities that include overseeing COVID testing stations, contact tracing, health promotion activities, and student engagement. Students will be placed in a Sakai site that will serve as a listserv to sign up for opportunities. This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate how health profession students can lead! To sign up to be a part of the Corps, please click on the following link: https://unc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_43o3BuuYiNOnxf7. If you wish to learn more about Carolina CSSC–please click here.
COVID VACCINES SERVICES:
We need health professional students to serve in a variety of roles to help support vaccine administration. We have partnered with the UNC Health System, Rex Hospital, Orange County Health Department, and others to help support vaccine delivery. Students will be placed in a Sakai site that will serve as a listserv to sign up for opportunities, and will also be able to share opportunities that they hear of as well. As a centralized hub for this effort at UNC, we will partner with NC-AHEC to serve the state. To sign up to be a part of this initiative, please click here.
