Virtual Service: Curamericas Global

Background

Curamericas Global (CG) is a non-profit organization that partners with underserved communities to make measurable and sustainable improvements in their health and wellbeing.

Curamericas Global's goal is to be an ally and provide evidence-based information to reduce the burden on the health system and flatten the curve.

Today, Spanish-speaking volunteers around the country are helping Curamericas Global make informational COVID-19 phone calls to Spanish-speaking clients to educate the population with basic information regarding the outbreak and resources to learn more. Individuals who are conversational in Spanish are needed to provide correspondence with Latinx communities. English-speaking volunteers are also needed to perform tasks such as organizing volunteer outreach and training English-speaking callers.

Currently, they are looking for volunteers to make informational COVID-19 phone calls to Spanish-speaking clients to educate the population with basic information regarding the outbreak and resources to learn more.
