IESHA Deadline Extended!
 The Inland Empire Student Health Ambassador Program (IESHA) is a unique opportunity for high school and community college students to experience community health in a clinic setting. IESHA is a 36-hour program that will prepare students to deliver health-related messages in pre-selected clinic waiting rooms.Students will be trained by qualified health professionals in topics like: dental health, diabetes, cardiovascular health, etc.
This could be a great volunteer opportunity for your students! The IESHA program not only looks great on a university application, but it builds experience and gives students the hands on experience that encourage them to view health careers from a preventive perspective. IESHA is set to begin in April and end in July of this year.
Here are the requirements. Students must:
- be 16 years of age or older
- have a 2.7 cumulative GPA or higher
- currently enrolled in a high school heath pathway program or community college majoring in a health-related field
- interested in a health-related career
- have reliable transportation to the clinic site
- fill out an application for the program
The program consists of:
- 3 to 4 Saturday trainings (about 1 Saturday per month)
- Clinic visits which are scheduled according to the students' availability.
