CORE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

This program is open to undergraduate students and graduated college students only.

For graduate students, APHF also offers a Graduate Volunteer Program.

​

​During each volunteer cycle, APHF receives a number of exceptional applicants. The volunteer cohort for American Pacific Health Foundation has become increasingly diverse while maintaining the professionalism, integrity, and scale required to personally serve our local community.

Becoming a Volunteer

As a volunteer with American Pacific Health Foundation, you will have the opportunity to rotate between a variety of screening and education stations (hypertension, vision health, diabetes/cholesterol, hepatitis B/C, health knowledge assessment and consultation; see below) at different outreaches throughout your term. You will not only be able to learn how to operate the unique point-of-care equipment APHF offers, but also how to engage and interact with patients with professionalism and respect. The commitment term for our organization is at least one year. While we do not expect your attendance at every event, we do expect you to show interest in attending the majority of them. There is a mandatory membership fee of $25 upon acceptance that will cover any food and operation costs for our outreaches; contact volunteer@aphfsd.org. if you would experience financial difficulties to pay the fee. If you have any conflicts during your application or volunteer term or have further questions regarding our organization, see our page of frequently asked questions (FAQs) for assistance. If your question or concern is not addressed after visiting the FAQs page, please email volunteer@aphfsd.org. Thank you for your interest in joining our APHF team!
