Volunteering with BLAIDS
BLAIDS volunteers do not have to be members of either of the mother organizations as long as they attend a BLAIDS training (held at the beginning of each quarter), or attend a director’s office hour.
The BLAIDS office is in SAC 106E with all of the other health empowerment organizations of the Community Programs Office.
