COVID-19 Vaccine Student Volunteer Opportunity

Sun, 21 Mar 2021 20:20:57 -0400

The State of Maryland is providing an opportunity for college students over the age of 18 to serve as volunteers at one of the several vaccination sites around the state.

The recently announced Maryland COVID-19 Vaccination Site Student Volunteer Program is a special part of the Maryland Responds Medical Reserve Corps. Volunteers may serve as greeters, ambulatory assistants, observers, or in other roles as assigned by the on-site volunteer coordinator.

Check out the program website to register or learn more. The way for potential student-volunteers to initiate the process is to click on “Become Member”. Volunteers will be assigned at vaccination sites closest to their listed address.

As part of the registration, you will be asked to:

o Fill out an online form for the Maryland Responds MRC (including signing forms stating they understand their liability coverage and confidentiality issues).

o Complete an online tutorial that explains the Maryland Responds MRC.

o Watch a short training video.

o Complete the scheduled times available to volunteer.

The USM is hoping that hundreds of students respond to the call and fill these critical administrative and support positions at our state’s vaccination sites.
