Volunteer With SHOCKSSaving Hearts of CA Kids is a student-led non-profit that aims to spread awareness about sudden cardiac arrest and to place at least one AED in every CA school.
-Every year, 15,000 children die from an underlying heart condition. We improve accessibility to AEDs through fundraising and donations. -In addition, through our DeCal offered at Cal, we educate students about sudden cardiac arrest, AED accessibility, and the US healthcare system and AED/CPR certify all of our students. -So much more needs to be done, and we are looking for several undergraduates to help in this cause, including marketing, fundraising, organizing events, etc. *If you are at all interested, please send your resume and a brief email about why you'd want to do non-profit work for SHOCKS to [email protected].

Often in the healthcare field, medical staff are limited by what care the patient can afford. However at Clinic by the Bay, our volunteers practice the art of medicine, rather than the business of healthcare. Our model also allows for medical students to learn from the vast combined experience of our retired doctors and nurses as the students support and work alongside them as receptionists, scribes, interpreters, prescription assistants and in other essential clinic roles.
