The Organization

Project TEAM is focused on providing education and mentorship opportunities for Orange County youth interested in healthcare.

  2. To be a lifelong advocate for the rights of youth
  3. To inspire youth to pursue a healthcare career, especially those from underserved communities whose backgrounds are under-represented in the healthcare industry

Let’s get a head count of everyone present who might want to be mentored through the program! (Additionally: What kind of opportunities would you like to come out of this? Hospital volunteering? Internships?)
