Happy Feature Friday! Did you know that April is National Volunteer Month? It is an opportunity to join the impact of volunteerism and encourage more people to get involved in their communities. This is a great month to reaffirm your commitment to giving back. If you have been thinking about getting more involved with the AAMC, and haven't found a way to do so - today, we're highlighting an opportunity within our AAMC virtual communities. The Holistic Student Support Community needs volunteers to provide feedback on the Policy Equity Audit Protocol developed under Mt. Sinai's Racism and Bias Initiative. This protocol helps review and improve policies, focusing on the "five Ps": People, Place, Process, Power, and Purpose. We're also seeking feedback on how it's adapted at different institutions. Interested in promoting equity and inclusion? Click here to learn more and reach out to get involved! If you would like to learn more on how to contribute, please feel free to connect with community manger @Benita Kornegay-Henry
