Community Opportunities

Bring CALIPER to your school or community!

The CALIPER project wouldn’t be possible without the help of local schools and communities. There are a number of ways you can support CALIPER to improve our connections in the community, and to find new participants to donate a blood sample to the project.

We’re open to all initiatives in reaching new project participants, including:

  • Hosting a CALIPER clinic day at your location 

  • Organizing an information booth at various community, sporting, and health-related events 

  • Sending or posting promotional materials to help inform your families, children, or students about CALIPER

We’ve established partnerships and collaborations with over 100 community organizations and have held over 140 community clinics or recruitment events! You can check out our list of our past CALIPER events below.

Be a part of a world-leading, Canada-wide health initiative! You’ll be able to see the impact of your hard work as you help improve outcomes for children with medical conditions.

What you’ll do 

Volunteers are vital to CALIPER and assist in many of our day-to-day tasks. Currently, there are three general areas volunteers contribute to the project.

Clinic Days

Clinic days involve travelling to schools or community centres and helping the team run CALIPER events.

Outreach Efforts

Informational booths and other outreach activities educate and inform the community about CALIPER and the opportunity to participate.

Office Support

While clinic days happen once or twice a month, help is always needed in the office to prepare for an upcoming clinic, or to wrap up after one.

Most of all, we’ll work with you to determine what unique skills you can contribute to the project. If you have other ideas on how to contribute to CALIPER, we’re always happy to hear them!
