HEROES YOUTH PROGRAM

One of C-STAHR's goals is to expose minority youth to careers and mentors in healthcare.  To accomplish this, students and community worked together to create the HEROES (Health Esteem futuRe pOwer Encouragement Speak up) Youth Program.  

This program includes curriculum on healthcare career exploration, food and nutrition, advocacy, hands-on skills (CPR, suturing, etc) and social determinants of health. Every summer, 20-25 youths will participate in a six-day course. 

C-STAHR recently completed its fifth year of the program during Summer 2018  in collaboration with the Vickers Boys & Girls Club.
