全球网络赌博平台基金会's Healthcare 职业生涯 Academy offers local teens volunteer opportunities and hands-on learning from local healthcare professionals

蒙特利,. — A new program is encouraging Monterey County teens to explore healthcare careers through volunteering and hands-on learning opportunities. The Healthcare 职业生涯 Academy combines volunteer work with training and experience in different areas of the healthcare industry.

The program is funded and operated by 全球网络赌博平台基金会 and is completely free for participants. The goal is to inspire youth to work in healthcare, 为他们的职业生涯做好准备, 帮助他们接受教育, and ultimately have them return to the community as healthcare professionals.

“We are really inspiring our own through this program,米歇尔·梅利西亚·杨说, 导演, 全球网络赌博平台基金会. “We are investing in these youth and their futures, which will in turn be massively beneficial to our Monterey County healthcare industry down the road.”

The teen volunteers in the academy commit to a minimum of one 2.每周自愿轮班5小时, plus recurring sessions where they hear from industry professionals including doctors, 治疗师, 和管理员. 他们接受面对面的培训, gaining experience in different Community 医院 of the Monterey Peninsula departments including the Comprehensive Cancer Center, 放射学, 及化验服务. 集体, 这批人已经服役超过3年,000 volunteer hours since the program launched in September.

Getting these youth into college-level healthcare programs is one of the main goals of the academy. High school seniors who reach 100 volunteer hours for the year are automatically eligible for a scholarship from 全球网络赌博平台基金会 Auxiliary. 今年, three seniors hit that benchmark and will be awarded a scholarship for their college freshman year.

“大学毕业后, 我想回到医院来,” said 15-year-old Salinas High School freshman and academy service learner Tatiana Jauregui. “I want to come back to the Monterey area and work here because I really do love the community. I really do love the people and the patients and the staff and just everything about it.”

The academy will hold an open house on May 2, 2023, from 4:30 p.m. 到晚上7点.m. at Community 医院 for students interested in participating in the summer intensive program. Interested students and their parents are welcome to attend — no registration is required. Students must be at least 14 years old, in high school, and able to commit to at least one 2.每周自愿轮班5小时.
