[UWHomelessnessResearch] Community Health Officer Applications

Submitted by Stephen Dunne on June 7, 2023 - 9:07am

Education Transforming Community Health (ETCH) is a student organization that offers weekly health education sessions to homeless adults in downtown Seattle. Through our community partnerships, we strive to create a health education curriculum that bridges evidence-based practice and the voices of the many homeless communities in Seattle. We aim to provide knowledge, skills, and tools to improve the quality of life of our participants.

The ETCH officer application is now OPEN! If you're interested in becoming more involved with ETCH and gaining leadership experience, please consider applying for an ETCH officer position for the 2023-2024 school year. In general, the officers work as a team on collective goals. Each officer also has individual responsibilities, which are listed below. Those selected will meet with current officers for training on these tasks. You do not need to have volunteered with us before to apply as an officer!
