The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) in Hanover, Maryland improves the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life of people affected by primary immunodeficiency through fostering a community empowered by advocacy, education, and research. Students interested in pursuing a future higher education path and career in public health, healthcare, science, or the medical field may find it rewarding, relevant, and educational to volunteer with the IDF.
While limited, there are a specific volunteer activities that individuals under 18 years old can assist with, which is a great, fulfilling, and unique way for medical and healthcare-inclined students to gain real-world experience in a patient-facing setting, which is a very valuable rarity for high school students. Volunteers contribute to the overall mission of the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) by providing another layer of compassion and skill to our team.
