We started our college PWH chapters program because we are passionate about providing students with the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world through volunteerism.  The officers of these chapters learn valuable professional skills while working for a cause they feel strongly about.

The responsibilities of student chapters include:

​

• Volunteering in PWH's Portland warehouse once a month 

• Organizing a mobility or crutch drive once a year

• Fundraising to pay for a container shipment of medical supplies and equipment 

• Educating their community on global health issues

• Attending quarterly global health education series lectures 

• Developing partnerships with local hospitals 

• Collecting medical supplies from local hospitals and delivering them to local PWH warehouses

Members of PWH college chapters are also eligible to apply for our medical missions!
