We will work as a class to craft hand written letters to Seniors living alone or Seniors entering rehabilitation or long term care. These letters will serve as a means of connection to combat social isolation in the Upstate, and our partners include Meals on Wheels and The Woodlands at Furman University.

Volunteer: Woodmont High School Mentorship

This is a new program so we may do a bit of trial and error this year! At minimum you’ll be signing up to be available via email to a Woodmont High school student who is interested in health care (most of these students will be part of their school’s Health Care Club, so they have shown interest in health care as a profession). Your job will be to answer their questions about medical school, including details of your own personal journey, and to provide advice about potential activities, whether volunteer, extracurricular, shadowing, etc. that are appropriate for this stage of their journey into medicine, as well as advice for activities to participate in during their college years that would be beneficial to someone who eventually wants to apply to medical school. There may also be opportunities to be a part of Q&A panels (virtual or in-person), present a lecture on a healthcare topic, demonstrate basic EMT skills, and provide campus tours. Our goal is to foster interest and excitement amongst these students. Woodmont is in one of the more rural areas of Greenville County and has previously not sent many students on to be doctors. We’d love to encourage these students to dream about the possibility of becoming MDs, and hopefully some future USCSOMG grads!

Sign up here: https://forms.gle/XUCcXPLegmvE8XR67

If you have any questions, please contact Morgan Edwards at MEE2@email.sc.edu!

Volunteer: Tutoring at Tanglewood Middle School

I teach the AVID class at Tanglewood Middle School in Greenville. This is a new curriculum which encourages our students toward higher education after high school graduation. We're searching for college students willing to help guide our students during weekly structured tutoring sessions. This will develop agency in our students as they see real world examples of college readiness from yourselves.   We're able to take students from any degree path, organization, or background. The big requirement is they obviously need to pass the district mandated background check. The commitment level would be every Thursday of the month at maximum. We can work with students who can't make every week of the month as long as we can coordinate a consistent schedule, such as the first 2 Thursdays of every month. Consistency is preferred over making every week one month & none the next.    If interested, contact
