My Nonprofit Reviews
Tam Trinh V.
Review for Asian Women for Health, Inc., Boston, MA, USA
I've volunteered with AWFH for about 6 months in 2019. I got to help out with a variety of aspects ranging from database transfer, creating e-vites and posters, to surveying Asian/Asian-American womxn about cervical health at community events. I got to work directly with Director Chien-Chi and she personally made the effort to reach out and touch base with me regularly. She was genuinely interested in which skills I wanted to work on and what experience I've previously had would help our community at focus. I really appreciated that Chien-Chi makes the effort to establish a relationship with each of the volunteers or workers of AWFH - it makes the work I do feel acknowledged and appreciated. It's also refreshing to see an organization that cares about Asian/Asian-American womxn's health holistically.
After my availability changed so I could no longer volunteer with AWFH anymore, Chien-Chi still reaches out to keep in touch. The AWFH newsletters and other AWFH emails are also very helpful in sharing opportunities and promoting community or educational events/trainings, many of which I ended up participating in such as Peer Support training and joining the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership's Consumer Advisory Council.
