Human Health Project (HHP) is a holistic health literacy charity. Our mission is to improve the health of the underserved and vulnerable through holistic information, education and advocacy. Our objective is to empower people to manage their own health with improved outcomes and no medical errors. For more information, please visit our website including viewing our "Shared Patient Information" program page which includes 50 pages of reports on both our Migraine and Lupus and feedback received from people who reviewed the reports in the section, "What Our Members are Saying" - https://tinyurl.com/4c5y3mfa and our "Healthcare Access Program" which includes short video courses in our Learning Academy - https://tinyurl.com/4xwdz5wh, Patient Advocacy Workshops in Los Angeles, - https://tinyurl.com/mryave5x and in Northern Ireland - https://tinyurl.com/nhj6kp7p and our Online Peer to Peer Events - https://tinyurl.com/5ddmxuynWhy this matters This role unlocks scale. What They DoBuild relationships with universities Connect with education departments Set up student pipelines Coordinate internship/volunteer programs University boards: Centralized University Job Boards (Post Once → Reach Many Schools) These platforms distribute roles across multiple universities. Best ones to use: Handshake→ This is the #1 university recruiting platform globally→ Used by 1,500+ universities→ You can post volunteer, internship, and fellowship roles12twenty→ Used by top universities (especially grad programs)→ Strong for business + education schools Symplicity→ Powers many university job boards→ You may need to post school-by-school through itIf you do only one thing: use Handshake first — it will likely outperform Idealist for student talent._____________________________________________________________________________________Top Universities with Strong Relevant Programs These are universities where students are very aligned with your needs (instructional design, public health, education tech).Instructional Design / eLearning Programs University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Arizona State University Florida State University Indiana University Bloomington Look for pages like:"Instructional Design Careers" or "Student Opportunities"_____________________________________________________________________________________Public Health & Health Education (Very Valuable for HHP) Johns Hopkins UniversityUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel HillLondon School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine University of California Berkeley These students already understand health literacy, which is a huge advantage._____________________________________________________________________________________UK / Europe (Strong + Very Open to Remote Volunteering) University College London University of Edinburgh University of ManchesterUK schools are very responsive to nonprofit collaboration emails._____________________________________________________________________________________Where Exactly to Post Inside Universities This is the part most people miss. Don't just look for "job boards" — target these specific pages: Career Services Portals Search:"[University name] + student jobs portal""[University name] + career center employers"Example:"ASU career center employer post job"_____________________________________________________________________________________Program-Specific Boards (Higher Conversion) Look for: Instructional Design departments Public Health schools Education technology programs These often have:internal newsletters Slack groupsfaculty mailing lists These convert better than general job boards_____________________________________________________________________________________Student Organizations Especially: Public health clubs MedEd groups EdTech societies Students in these groups are very mission-driven._____________________________________________________________________________________A High-Performing Shortcut (Very Important) Instead of only posting...Email professors or program coordinators directly. Example:"We're offering real-world health education video projects that students can include in their portfolios."This works extremely well at places like: Arizona State UniversityUniversity College LondonYou can get:entire classes contributingcapstone projectslong-term partnerships_____________________________________________________________________________________Bonus: Niche Student Job BoardsThese are smaller but targeted: WayUpChegg Internships Good for:internshipsearly-career volunteers_____________________________________________________________________________________What I Recommend You Do (Simple Plan) If you want fast results, do this: This week: Post on Handshake Email 10 instructional design programs Email 10 public health programs Next week: Follow up with professors Offer "portfolio-based projects"_____________________________________________________________________________________Key Insight Students don't respond well to:"Volunteer role"They respond to:"Portfolio-building real-world project""Published educational content""Global health impact"_____________________________________________________________________________________If you want, I can next:write a ready-to-send email to professorsgive you a list of 30 specific university contactsor create a Handshake job post that converts well
