Volunteer Opportunities
I was taught that the world had a lot of problems; that I could struggle and change them; that
intellectual and material gifts brought the privilege and responsibility of sharing with others less
fortunate; and that service is the rent each of us pays for living -- the very purpose of life and not
something you do in your spare time or after you have reached your personal goals. --Marian
Wright Edelman
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
--Anne Frank
We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give. --Winston Churchill
The moral test of a society is how that society treats those who are in the dawn of life -- the children;
those who are in the twilight of life -- the elderly; and those who are in the shadow of life -- the sick,
the needy and the handicapped. --Hubert Humphrey
Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation's compassion,
unselfish caring, patience, and just plain love for one another. --Erma Bombeck
During your time here at UAB School of Public Health we encourage you to immerse
yourself into the community by volunteering. We have provided you with a list of
opportunities.
