Community Service Opportunities

Both the Langston Centre and Carver Recreation Center hold after-school programs for students, and the members of SNMA have been working with coordinators from both programs to have some med students volunteer to hold educational (but fun!!) sessions for their students! Each day, our members have a lesson to go over with the students and have some fun activities for them to do as well! For those who choose to participate, SNMA's Community service liaison will follow up with you to make sure you have everything you need to be prepared to go over the specific topic. Feel free to email SNMA leadership at qcomsnma@gmail.com if you have any questions or want to get involved!
