Administrative/Social Media VolunteerWith such a large database of patients, allies, and partners – we have a great deal of information to keep track of. An administrative volunteer may simply make copies for the day, or they may spend time preparing the support group email announcements which go out each month. These tasks are vital for us to continue as an active lifeline for the sickle cell community. We also need help with social media! This volunteer may create content using templates, update the Facebook page, or keep the Twitter active and engaging.Public Awareness VolunteerJoin us in our efforts to increase the public’s knowledge about sickle cell disease! We are working to undo years of misleading or incomplete education to the public about the struggles of those with sickle cell disease. As a volunteer, you may help schedule day-trips to the mall with other volunteers or attend community events as a representative, where you work to inform and connect with community members across Greater Los Angeles.Community Outreach and Partnership BuildingMuch of our work is grassroots – we reach patients by contacting the organizations and institutions which serve them. Volunteers in this field love digging up information and researching, and they are also comfortable sending emails and making phone calls to organizations! The contacts and information gathered here enables us to identify and support patients that have been isolated across California. |

| About us | Cayenne Wellness Center and Children’s Foundation was first established in the year 2000 and, in the beginning, held a broad vision of general public health and wellness. But as time went on, the organization was drawn toward the specific needs and challenges faced by individuals with sickle cell disease. To reach this vision, our programs focus on education and awareness for providers, patients, and the general public. The members of the sickle cell community are given access to a grassroots network of individuals and institutions dedicated to improving patient quality of life and patient empowerment. |
