Involvement in PASHA Board

PASHA has university chapters run by undergraduate students and an executive board based in Los Angeles. The PASHA undergraduate boards work directly with the executive board. All PASHA executive board members and undergraduate board members are volunteers. Both groups propose and implement ideas and projects related to improving health locally and globally. Traditionally, the bulk of our board members have been student volunteers, however, non-students are encouraged to apply.
