Linda Yu Bien Volunteer Program
We are looking for college students who are interested in pursuing a health-related career for our Linda Yu Bien Volunteer Program. The goal of the program is to expose students to the dynamic environment of a community health center so that they can better understand how health care is delivered to an underserved population. Volunteers will receive trainings from NEMS Health Education Department on how to improve communication skills in a health care setting and learn how to deliver culturally competent health education messages. To learn more about the program, click here. To apply, complete the Volunteer Contact Form and mention the Linda Yu Bien Volunteer Program in your message. Application deadline is May 31, 2024.

- The forms will be sent to you via email. If you do not see them in your inbox, please check your SPAM folder.

- You are required to complete several health assessments and provide a personal immunization record. Please get in contact with the appropriate agency(ies) as soon as you apply to obtain the necessary information.
- You must complete either a Two-Step PPD Skin TB test OR a One-Step QFT Blood test. Please note that if you are on a tight timeline, we would recommend that you take the One-Step QFT Blood Test. Please contact your healthcare provider to set up an appointment as soon as you apply. If you do not have a healthcare provider, please contact us.
- You must be up to date with your vaccinations (including COVID-19 boosters).
