UConn Medical Humanitarian Society
serves as an organization of a non-profit nature, which engages in community service projects to benefit under-privileged and vulnerable populations stricken by medical disaster, in addition to raising awareness about health and wellness issues that are devastating parts of the world.
OUR MISSION
What We Do
Community Service
Blood drives. Clean-Ups. Soup Kitchens. Whether it's a service project or an afternoon devoted to handing out food or cleaning, volunteering can go as far as outside the country or be as close as around Storrs, CT.
Fundraising
Natural disasters that ignite humanitarian crises are the main focus of our donation efforts. Past donations have gone to the American Red Cross, UNICEF, and other outlets to help the Syrian Refugees, plus more.
Awareness
Last fall, we put on our first-ever Health Fair, where we spread awareness about personal and community health throughout the UConn community. At our weekly meetings we also highlight an important awareness topic.
Major Trip
A team of around a dozen students is selected to go abroad for two weeks to provide hands-on healthcare to underserved populations. Find out what past groups have done and learn how to apply for our next trip.
Get Involved
Weekly Meetings will be held in HBL Classroom of 1947 on Tuesday at 7 PM

"May you express anger at injustice, oppression,
and exploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for
justice, freedom, and peace among all people.
May you remain foolish enough to believe that
you really CAN make a difference in this world,
so that you are able to do what others claim cannot be done."
