Additional Resources
Medical students and others are mobilizing around the country to support healthcare workers. If you are a healthcare worker or a student and we don’t have resources in your area online yet, or we weren’t able to match you with someone for your needs, we encourage you to explore the sites below.
We are actively updating this directory every day with additional resources and attempting to ensure that each linked resource is still operational, but things are changing very rapidly, so we apologize if any link becomes out of date.
We want to support everyone doing this critical work. If you are a local or student organization and you would like to be added to this page, please send us an email at help@hcwchildcareco-op.com.
Please note that none of the student-led efforts below has affiliation with or endorsement by the institutions that its students attend. These are grassroots, student-led efforts organized so that community members can help one another in this moment of great crisis.
