The Academy of Dentistry International,
has once again provided a grant to the
American Dental Association (ADA) Division of Global Affairs
to support the 2010 Volunteer Symposium in Orlando, Florida.
The next Volunteer Symposium will be in San Francisco, California October 2012.
This interactive symposium at the 2010
American Dental Association Annual Session in Orlando
was designed to support the success of domestic and
international oral health care volunteers. An overview
of global oral health problems, creating sustainable
development projects that fulfill needs, understanding
cross-cultural communications in diverse communities, and
realizing the impact of health promotion are topics that were
covered with input from the participants.
By the end of this course, participants were able to:
1. Identify the skills and long-term goals necessary for a
successful volunteer program
2. Integrate locally specific approaches both in the U.S. and abroad
3. Network to expand and disseminate the rewards of
volunteerism
