UWI recognizes and deeply appreciates how vital your expertise and compassion are to supporting the Uyghur community in this time of crisis. It is our priority that Uyghur clients AND wellness professionals find this to be a rewarding experience. Below is a description of what we hope volunteers are able to provide, as well as what UWI hopes to provide in return.
Support for Clients
We hope that volunteers are able to commit to:
•
Providing pro bono services for 1-2 clients/month;
•
Attending quarterly meetings (1-2 hours each) to share feedback, ideas and engage in peer-to-peer learning;
•
Sharing wellness resources/referrals within the peer wellness professional group.
Support for Wellness Professionals

An orientation training on Uyghur culture and background on the genocide;
