You need to get started NOW. You will need to volunteer 20 hours during the next 18 weeks. That isn't a lot to do. It will help your English, help other people, help your soul and help your career goal!
Many hospitals and clinics will require 50-100 hours of volunteering. That is more than the requirement for the class. If you are serious about working in health care in the US, I recommend that.
If you are new to all of this, you might want to start with a 20 hour commitment at a senior center or Glide Church, Laguna Honda, or the Food Bank . The Food Bank doesn't have the same kind of requirements that hospitals or clinics do.
If you know of a doctor or dental office that you want to volunteer in- that's great! Just get me the name and phone number of the person who will be supervising you.
Another wonderful opportunity is at the CCSF health clinic. I have a contact there, so talk to me first.
Please start your process now. It may take you awhile to go to an orientation or get a health screening and have an interview (in some cases). You will be writing a journal on your experiences each month starting February.
BEST OF LUCK!
