Volunteer: Ronald McDonald House (RMH) Guest Chef Program

Looking for a meaningful, hands-on way to serve our local community? Join AOA and the Lifestyle Medicine Student Interest Group as we collaborate each month to serve as Guest Chefs at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH).

Together, we’ll prepare a well-balanced dinner that is rooted in lifestyle medicine principles, share simple health education tips, and engage with families whose loved ones are hospitalized. Each dinner serves 30-50 individuals and is prepared on-site in the RMH kitchen.

Volunteer Expectations:

- Arrive at 4:00 PM to help cook the meal from scratch 

- Engage with families during dinner by sharing brief, evidence-based tips on nutrition, wellness, and chronic disease prevention (Dinner is self-served starting at 6:00 PM)

- Stay through clean-up, helping ensure the kitchen is left clean and welcoming (Event ends by 7:30 PM)

Austin (or another AOA student leader) will send a confirmation email or text a few days before each dinner to confirm your participation and assign specific roles as needed.

This is an approved IPM service-learning opportunity and is open to all medical students, regardless of AOA membership. Join us to practice community-based service, apply our lifestyle medicine training in a real-world setting, and support families during a challenging time with warm meals and compassionate connection!

Volunteer: Mauldin Miracle - Baseball

We will have 7 Saturday dates (weather permitting) available to sign up for in the remainder of the 2026 Spring semester. Please respond individually to each opportunity if you plan on attending multiple events.


We are joining the Mauldin Miracle League at Sunset Park to help facilitate baseball games for our Greenville IDD athletes - around 6 total teams on each of those Saturdays we volunteer. Each game will last approximately an hour, so the current timestamp for this event will be from 8:30 am-12 pm with some flexibility. There is a short orientation at 8:30 am to go over guidelines and who MML is, with baseball play from 9 am-12 pm. You will most likely be paired with a player from one of the teams playing during the hour (some groups might have 2 buddies to 1 member or 1 to 2, etc.) and you will help them hit off the tee, run the bases, field the ball, throw the ball, the whole 9 yards so make the most out of it! 


Again, please make sure you RSVP to each event you will be attending so we can track your hours. You do not need to fill out anything else other than this RSVP on CC, and then show up ready to have some fun with your matched friends!
