Get Involved

Our student workforce has supported community members on and off campus throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and continued to learn and develop new ways to support and address public health needs. OPHC continues to work with Lane County in developing new opportunities for university students who can support the community as well fellow students at University of Oregon.  

Are you a University of Oregon student interested in being part of the OPHC? Applications for paid positions are currently being accepted on a rolling basis for undergraduates and graduate students. 

Having an educational background in the health sciences (e.g., epidemiology and global health, prevention science, psychology) is helpful, but not required. More important are skills include:

• A professional and positive attitude and work ethic
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work with culturally diverse communities
• Comfort working with distressed individuals from a place of empathy
• Attention to detail and familiarity with online data-tracking platforms
• We are particularly interested in recruiting students with diverse backgrounds 

OPHC positions are paid and offer opportunities for UO students.
