The Center for Community Health and Health Equity seeks BWHers to volunteer for two programs. Volunteers are needed to guide students through hands-on science projects one hour per week for four weeks beginning in October. All materials will be prepared for volunteers. BWHers also have the opportunity to serve as pen pals to grade 2 and 3 students in Mission Hill, writing and receiving one letter per month and meeting the student twice a year. To get involved in either opportunity, contact Pamela Audeh at ext. 2-6533 or paudeh@partners.org
