Join Our Public Health Delivery Movement: Unite For Sight
While receiving hands-on training in public health programs, you will gain skills to become a new leader in public health. Unite For Sight's chapter volunteers are trained to reduce barriers to care by serving as advocates for community members. Chapter volunteers train teachers to identify visual issues among their students, and they also inform teachers about how to coordinate free eye care for any uninsured students. The chapter volunteers similarly train the staff at community centers (i.e. soup kitchens, homeless shelters, free clinics, etc.) about the resources available for their clients to receive free eye care through professional organizations such as the American Academy of Ophthalmology (EyeCare America) and American Optometric Association (VisionUSA). Each chapter eliminates blindness in their community by enabling thousands each year to be connected with free eye care by eye care professionals.
We will also make a global impact from campus! Unite For Sight's chapter volunteers fundraise, and 100% goes directly to restoring sight and eliminating preventable blindness among those living in extreme poverty in developing countries. Our chapter will also hold global health events and activities. Join our global health delivery movement!
