Youth Health Service CorpsClick here to enroll in the YHSC! The Youth Health Service Corps is open to high school students interested in health care careers and also serving their community. AHEC uses a nine-module curriculum developed specifically to train students to volunteer in health care and community agencies that serve vulnerable populations. We bring in guest speakers from applicable agencies to enhance the modules. Students receive a shirt and nametag to wear during volunteer hours, receive prizes and recognition. Since this program is delivered to students directly through their high school, a minimum of 10 student participants is required, along with a staff or faculty member willing to serve as a sponsor. Course outline: Module 1 - The Vulnerable Population Module 2 - Ethical and Legal Issues Module 3 - Applied Health Services VOLUNTEER = 10 hours Module 4 - Cultural Competency Module 5 - Health Education and Disease Prevention Module 6 - Health Career Exploration VOLUNTEER = 15 hours Module 7 - Health Observation and Data Collection Module 8 - Emergency Preparedness Module 9 - Peer education and leadership VOLUNTEER = 25 hours CPR and AED Certification Class For more information contact Shaunna Overfelt at 816-410-8384 or soverfelt@kclinc.org |
