Get involved
There is a job here for whatever you are good at
Strands of Life runs entirely on student volunteers. No experience required, no minimum hours, no fee, and every role counts toward community service hours.
Design & social media
Turn each campaign into graphics, carousels, and short video. If you already run an account or open Canva for fun, this is your team.
Outreach
Connect with patient organizations, clinics, and schools to find storytellers and partners for upcoming months.
Research & fact-checking
Make sure every claim we publish traces back to a credible source. Ideal if you are interested in medicine or public health.
Chapters
Start Strands of Life at your school
A chapter is a small team at your school or university that runs the monthly campaign locally: assemblies, posters, a display case, an Instagram takeover, whatever fits your community.
We give you the campaign materials, a chapter handbook, design templates, and a monthly call with the core team. You bring three or more students and a staff advisor.
