Volunteer / Engage
Welcome!
- If you are a physician, nurse, public health professional, researcher, scientist, a community and/or health advocate looking to become more actively engaged, we invite you to join a committee and/or work on specific projects.
- If you have expertise in writing, photography, or policy research, we may have a project for you.
To join our efforts, please contact info@sfbaypsr.org. We’d be happy to talk with you about your interests.
Join Committees
Join one or both of our local-chapter committees and engage in a variety of advocacy projects. You can choose to just attend to listen and learn or offer time for particular projects.
NUCLEAR WEAPONS ABOLITION COMMITTEE, SF BAY PSR
NWA committee members are health professionals and others working locally to influence public awareness, civic engagement, and national policy via California Members of Congress toward a nuclear-weapons-free world. Toward the latter, we endorse the Back from the Brink campaign and its policy platforms. Read more about the committee here.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE, SF BAY PSR
EH committee members work on a wide range of collaborative policy and regulatory agency advocacy projects and efforts to engage health professional students and institutions to address the threats of pollution and climate change on the health of our communities. Read more about the committee here.
Teach / Mentor
Connect with PSR members who are deeply invested in educating medical and other health professionals on our issues through curriculum development, elective courses, presentations, student projects supervision, and student-led events at medical schools. We also have an internship program to mentor and train young health professionals in leadership and policy advocacy. Learn more about our education efforts here.
Speakers Bureau
Do you enjoy speaking about environmental health and justice or nuclear abolition topics? Maybe you have a lecture or talk already prepared that you could modify for a different audience? If yes, then please sign up for our Speakers Bureau. We are building our list of health professionals who are ready and willing to give presentations as SF Bay PSR webinars, or to policy maker, community, and professional groups. Help us to amplify health professionals’ voices and influence today’s difficult policy decisions. We are especially looking for more speakers to give talks about the health harms of gas stoves and other gas appliances and the benefits of healthier, electric appliances.
