June is Volunteer Appreciation Month at Pre-Health Shadowing!
As a student-led nonprofit, volunteers are the beating heart of Pre-Health Shadowing. This organization would be nothing without the support of many dedicated volunteers who choose to spend their time helping other pre-health students. We are so grateful for all of our volunteers, past and present, that have contributed to making our organization into what it is today.
That’s why we want to take the month of June to celebrate the amazing individuals who volunteer at PHS. Here’s what we’re doing to say thank you!
