SYHealth Teen Clinic Peer Health Advocates
San Ysidro Health (SYH) is seeking participants from Sweetwater Union High School District to intern for the Teen Clinic Peer Health Advocacy (TCPHA) program. The TCPHA program is looking for 15-20 interns entering 10th-12th grade in the 2021-22 school year. This is a public health internship and does not offer any clinical experience, however participants work closely with Teen Clinic. This program requires participants to learn about and often present on sensitive topics related to sexual and reproductive health. We ask that participants are open-minded and comfortable discussing these subjects. Participants in this program will conduct workshops, utilizing social media to teach their peers, and acting as a resource for the community. Selected participants will receive a small stipend upon completion of the year long PHA program.
