SYHealth Teen Clinic Peer Health Advocates
Every school year, San Ysidro Health Teen Clinic selects interns for our Peer Health Advocacy (PHA) program. Fifteen to twenty friendly and enthusiastic teens entering 10th-12th grade are selected from priority schools including: Chula Vista High School, Castle Park High School, Montgomery High School, San Ysidro High School, High Tech High, Palomar High School and Chula Vista Learning Community Charter. Interns learn to present about various health topics (listed below), conduct workshops, utilize social media to teach their peers, and act as a resource to their friends and community. This is a great opportunity to gain professional experience while getting community service hours! Recruitment begins in May. The program is from July-May.
