We are all committed, as part of our shared GHC mission and vision, to help this program thrive. If you see a need for volunteers at your clinic, know a potential volunteer, have an idea for a volunteer project, would like help from a volunteer, or would like to help with GHC outreach to recruit volunteers, please contact your Lead Site Clinician or the Clinical Director. If you would like to be a student fieldwork educator, help develop tools and resources for students, have ideas for student projects, or know a student who you think would make a great employee, please contact the Clinical Director.

Oh, what fun we’re having!
