Programs Related to Health Issues

Blood Drive


LCS sponsors three blood drives during the year. Volunteers help in recruiting donors, advertising, and working sites approximately two weeks for each drive on the Tufts campus. Through student and community support, we collect close to 1000 pints each year.

Cancer Outreach


Invokes cancer awareness within the community. We visit children in local hospitals, work with education initiatives on campus, fundraise, and organize/participate in local & national cancer events.

HIV/AIDS Initiative


Want to help spread awareness about HIV/AIDS throughout Tufts campus? Join HIV/AIDS Initiative and help organize events to inspire discussion of HIV/AIDS-related issues and volunteer at local HIV/AIDS organizations.

Peer Health Exchange


Peer Health Exchange gives teenagers the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy decisions. We do this by training college students to teach a comprehensive health curriculum in Boston area public high schools that currently lack health education.
