Greetings! Volunteers needed!! 

It is important to indicate what your availability is for this volunteer opportunity. 

Please make sure to create an account on Volunteer Houston and connect with the Houston Health Department Portal as well! 

The UT Health Houston Community Action Poverty Simulator (CAPS) is a learning experience for medical, nursing, dental, and public health students that helps them better understand the challenges faced by individuals and families experiencing poverty while exploring the role healthcare professionals can play in addressing social and economic barriers to health.

During each four-hour simulation, the community representatives staff these simulated agencies and interact directly with students, followed by a debrief session where participants reflect on the experience.
