Internship Title: Community Outreach, Resources & Assessment Intern
About Us: A Servant’s Heart Community is a faith-based organization in the Washtenaw County area that brings together churches, residents, and other local grassroot organizations to help vulnerable communities thrive. Their localized outreach focus includes community projects like healthy aging initiatives, community gardens, park enhancements, and support networks addressing homelessness.
About the Mobile Clinic Initiative: The recent closure of the West Willow Clinic removed the area’s only healthcare anchor, deepening existing health disparities in a neighborhood ranked in the lowest opportunity tier across all 19 Washtenaw County Opportunity Index indicators. For 12-18-months, the West Willow Mobile Clinic Initiative will create rotating mobile “pop-up” clinics to preserve access to preventive, routine, and urgent care in the neighborhood until a permanent facility is established.

This Intern will help make sure residents know about the clinic, can find the resources they need, and have a voice in shaping the work.
