Opportunity Details

Educate the community! Protect brains! Save lives! (age 16+) Referral

Interested in the brain? Love teaching others about the importance of wearing helmets and being safe while having fun? Teach community members about helmet safety and more at events throughout the summer!

ThinkFirst Oregon’s mission is to educate Oregonians about brain and spinal cord injury prevention and safe choice-making.

OHSU ThinkFirst will be fitting and distributing FREE and low cost helmets as well as hosting tables with information on brain and spinal cord injury prevention and making safe choices. At the table, volunteers will be demonstrating a brain and spinal cord model, playing transportation safety games, and doing concussion awareness activities.

This is a great opportunity for you if you're comfortable with crowds, feel confident talking with youth and adults of all ages, and are able to speak clear English. Bi-lingual speakers are welcome! Please wear clean clothing without holes or logos and no tank tops.
