What did the 300 hours for the non profit social service organization involve?

I'm a research assistant, so I assist with their public health research and their initiatives, since they provide medically-tailored meals to individuals who are dealing with health conditions.

You have a good list and should receive several interviews. You could add Quinnipiac, Albany, UMass, Drexel, George Washington.
