Pay it forward. 💙

For 35 years, Health Career Connection has helped students gain access to meaningful, paid internships that open doors to careers in healthcare, public health, research, and community leadership.

Many of our alumni know firsthand how impactful one opportunity, one mentor, or one summer experience can be.

Now, we’re asking our HCC community to help create those same opportunities for the next generation of health leaders.

Your support helps students access PAID internships, professional development, mentorship, and experiences that can shape their futures!

You grew here, now help grow the next generation!

You were an HCC intern once.

You know firsthand how one opportunity can open doors, build confidence, and shape an entire career path! From mentorship and professional development to hands-on experience, HCC helped many of us take our first steps toward careers in healthcare, public health, research, and community leadership!

Now, it’s our turn to help the next generation do the same.

For 35 years, HCC has worked to create paid internship opportunities for aspiring health leaders, but many students still face the same financial barriers that make these opportunities difficult to access.

Your support helps ensure future interns can gain the same life-changing experiences that once impacted you!
