CAPSI Community Education - Community Outreach
The CAPSI Community Outreach program is a great way to get involved. It's interactive and fun, while maintaining a professional image.
You don't have to be a CAPSI member to volunteer! Please contact us to receive more information.
All programs will have material provided so don't worry about not knowing what to say during the presentations!
