Volunteer

AIHREA runs several initiatives to combat health issues in the communities we serve. Some of these include environmental screenings of individual's homes, health education, weight loss and smoking cessation programs. Our team members travel to the four reservations in Kansas and others, including the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation in South Dakota, to administer health screenings to populations in need.

We also host events, such as the AIHREA O.N.E. Pow Wow in early May, for which we need volunteer help with the screening clinic, food booth and child care.
