By donating time, energy, and diverse skills to CEWM, our volunteers are among the Center’s most valuable assets. Our Center’s many multi-faceted projects also promise to keep you challenged and provide you with a memorable and rewarding experience. We welcome volunteers who have strong intellectual curiosity and a passion to learn about the field of integrative East-West medicine. We do our best to match your talents and creativity with the tasks at hand.

Due to the specialized content of the Center’s work, it is requested that applicants come prepared with a relevant background and/or knowledge about the subject matter. This requirement can be met here at UCLA by enrolling in introductory courses such as Integrative Medicine for Wellness and Health (Medicine 180) or Perspective on Complementary, Alternative and Integrative Medicine (Anthropology 157).

Our volunteers assist us in a range of important tasks. These functions may include research or administrative support. Currently we are seeking volunteers for the following roles/positions:

• Web Portal Team Member: Writing, editing, and design. May participate in research, artwork, or social media moderating.
• Visual History Project Assistant: Assist with video production and background research on a unique international archival project. Those with camera skills may assume more hands-on roles in video work.
• Wellness Education Assistant: Conceptualize topics, compile user-friendly information on wellness. Those with design interest or experience may be involved in producing the layout of printed and web-based materials.

Qualifications: Highly motivated individuals with a background in integrative East-West medicine who can work independently as well as in a team setting by collaborating with Center faculty and staff in a professional and diplomatic manner.

Requirements: Be committed for a minimum of 6 months (2 quarters) and at least 6-8 hours per week. Although you may complete most of the assignment at any location, you are required to attend project meetings and provide progress reports on a regular basis. Applicants are also to have a relevant background.

How to Apply: Send your resume and a brief personal statement describing your background, skills, and interests by email.
