After school student aide program

The after school student aide program is unlike most in the state. We normally have a staff of 14-18 CV students that work hands on along with the staff ATC's to provide medical coverage for all of our 21 interscholastic sports which entails being responsible for approximately 800+ athletes. Student aide duties include practice setup, wound triage, treatments, supervision of rehabilitation, practice coverage, taping, etc. Student aides typically work 3-4 days a week depending on the athletic season. All hours they volunteer goes towards community service which opens up many scholarship opportunities. Each student aide typically finishes the year with approximately 600-800 hours which looks amazing on a college transcript. In order to become a student aide, it is an application process that starts in the spring time. If accepted, most students will work in the program for their entire high school tenure.

It is possible to be an athlete as well as student aide. Students are able to take one season off (of the 3) to compete in an interscholastic sport. The program is very flexible to accommodate athletes. During the fall season, students normally rotate coverage around the football/volleyball teams while still providing care to all other fall teams. During the winter/spring seasons, student aides are assigned to one sport and they stay with that sport the whole season.

In 2017, we started a tradition to take the group on college trips to give them an opportunity to see campuses in person. It is an amazing experience to be able to see the actual facilities first hand and being able to talk to campus personnel about campus life, financial aid, etc. One of the many things that makes the Campo Verde Sports Medicine program so special.
