Are you looking for ways to serve vulnerable communities during the spring semester? Interested in personal development time? Join Health Education and Literacy Organization with Florida National Health Corps this Thursday at 3 p.m. to find out how you can help!!
The National Health Corps is a paid service program devoted to fostering healthy communities through health and wellness services to underserved areas. Members get to work at non-profits, medical and dental clinics, pharmacies, and public health organizations.
If you’re not graduating yet or would like to volunteer during the spring semester, consider joining HELO! At HELO we bridge the literacy disparity that prevents thousands of Americans from accessing better health, simply due to not understanding. About 44% of the population reads below an 8th-grade level or cannot read at all, while health information is usually above a 10th-grade reading level. We work locally and nationally to reduce this silent epidemic.
Join us this Thursday for our first spring GBM to find out how you can get involved!!
