Youth Programs, through the Summer Science Academy, Project TEACH and SSJP High School and SSJP Summer College programs, works on four levels to address health inequities by: (a) contributing to educational enrichment for young people through clinical, public health and health equity seminars as well as tutoring; (b) supporting employment and training opportunities in communities that have experienced historical disinvestment and structural racism; (c) encouraging youth driven programming in youth-led groups such as the SSJP Student Committee, Youth Equity Group and Mental Health Mondays and (d) increasing the diversity of the healthcare workforce and contributing to building a diverse workforce that is reflective of Mass General Brigham patients and communities.
