Want to get involved with the Suitcase Clinic, but were unable to take the HMS course? Come to our summer training series to receive the training necessary to become a caseworker. After completing the three mandatory sessions, you will be able to volunteer at any of our three drop-in centers.
The trainings will be held over two consecutive Saturdays, June 14 & 21, from 9 AM to 1 PM, location TBA. In addition to attending both mandatory classroom training sessions, you must also shadow a caseworker at one of our three drop-in centers (on either June 16 or 17) in order to successfully complete the training series.

Are you interested in becoming a part of the Suitcase Clinic, but are unable to take Health and Medical Sciences 98/198 during either the fall or spring semester? Consider attending our day-long Summer Training Session, which will be held on June 23rd from 10:00 AM-4:00 PM in 122 Barrows Hall. This will be hosted in order to train new volunteers to staff our three drop-in centers in the city of Berkeley. You will be fully qualified to volunteer upon the completion of the training session, with experience commensurate to that which would be gained through HMS 98/198. You will be expected to volunteer as a caseworker at our three drop-in centers within the city of Berkeley at least four times upon the successful completion of this training regiment. No reservations are required in advance; simply show up on June 23rd and you will receive all the requisite briefing and documentation. Keep updated by reviewing our website, www.suitcaseclinic.org, and you optionally subscribe to our volunteer mailing list, through which you will receive regular updates about our organization, by sending an email to majordomo.
