UCBC Cares Foundation
Starting January 12th I will be working under Amy Johnson, the volunteer coordinator at UCBC Cares Foundation. As a student intern I will assist in planning, coordinating, and implementing programs that support cancer patients and their families while engaging the community in wellness and volunteerism. I’m specifically passionate about working with this population because my mother died from breast cancer so I understand what a lot of these patients and their families are going through. I’m most excited to develop my skills in marketing and communication since I do not have much experience developing social media campaigns.
