Volunteer

Volunteer your skills for free health education

and youth sports.

SELF Principle depends on people who volunteer their time and expertise. Most opportunities are remote, project-based, or seasonal, and most roles do not require a medical background.

How we work with volunteers

Choose a defined project that fits your skills and availability.

Volunteers help us make health education clearer, more accessible, and available to more people. We match volunteers to defined projects when there is a genuine need and a clear way to support the work.

Ways to help

Areas where we may need help.

Share your skills through a defined project in one of the areas below.

Translation and captions

Help make videos and guides available in other languages, or review captions for accuracy.

Clinical or research review

If you have relevant clinical or research experience, support evidence checks under physician editorial oversight by verifying citations and flagging meaningful changes in the evidence.

Sports Scholarship committee

Help review applications through a structured, confidential process. Teachers, coaches, clinicians, and professionals from different fields can bring useful perspectives.

Design, video, and communications

Support defined projects involving design, editing, video, social media, or other communications work.

Legal, accounting, and nonprofit operations

Offer professional help on a defined pro bono or project basis.

Local outreach and events

Help with Southern California scholarship outreach or occasional community activities when opportunities are available.
