Here is a brief overview of the program –

CHYA is a year-long, multilayered academic program designed for high school students (residents of California). Our scholars are educated on the healthcare landscape, exposed to local and global health disparities, and empowered to pave their own path toward a degree and career in the healthcare field. As a part of this program, students will work collaboratively within groups to complete a Capstone project and will be placed at a local community-based organization/clinic during the Summer 2024 session to complete a 40-hour internship.

Students who complete all components of the program receive a $1,000 stipend.
