Opportunity Details

Synergy Saturday is a weekly pop-up wellness event with experiential learning, free health screening, and patient navigation services to reverse poor health and poverty. The Organization offers free health screenings for the public (population health). The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) students from inter-professional departments come out every Saturday to perform the health screenings from 8 am - 2 pm. This Experiential Learning Opportunity program is an excellent way to give back to the community and the people of the community. There are hundreds of lives saved every year because of our free health screenings, and being a part of a life-saving event is truly an amazing opportunity.

Screenings save lives! Health screenings catch diseases, illnesses, or potential causes in the earliest stages when either treatment, an all-natural supplement, or a simple lifestyle change has its greatest chance for success. Because our free health screenings have a minimum per-person value of $100, it can be said that for every $100 raised a life is saved! Our participants are empowered by knowing their numbers for the sake of their health and healthy lifestyles. Synergy Saturday encourages its participants to lead healthier, longer, and more productive lives.

Healthcare is universal and quality care should be afforded to all regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, sex, marital status, disability, religious or political affiliation, age, or sexual orientation. Synergy Saturday is here with synergistic care from like-minded caregivers who desire to help our communities with love and genuine respect.

Senior Centers offer a healthy hot lunch for anyone of age 60 and over through the Older Americans Act (OAA) Nutrition Program. Additional government funding; although helpful, is far from enough to produce fulfilling programs and activities for our Aging Adult community. The RSC Advisory Committee has taken on the task of raising these additional funds to make our Center as productive as possible. THIS ANNUAL EVENT IS OUR LARGEST FUNDRAISER.

ABOUT SENG
Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) is a national nonprofit empowering families and communities to guide gifted and talented individuals to reach their goals: intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Many of these individuals possess intelligence or talent at a profound level, yet struggle with daily interactions. They may suffer from anxiety, depression, autism and other conditions that limit their quality of life. SENG works with gifted individuals of all ages, as well as educators, researchers, schools, corporations, and community groups to provide a supportive and positive community.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
SENG's 35th annual conference will be held in San Diego July 19-July 22, 2018. We are seeking volunteers to help set up rooms and the exhibition, check in guests, answer questions and direct conference attendees to their locations. The conference will be held on Comic-Con weekend, which makes it a bit difficult for our 400+ travelers, including gifted children, so we want them to be as relaxed as possible. Extra helping hands can make all the difference! The event will be held at Town & Country San Diego, 500 Hotel Circle North.
