ABOUT H.O.P.E. Program
Health Occupations Promoting Equity (H.O.P.E.) is a statewide collaboration among the 6 regional AHEC Centers in Colorado. The program is a health career exploration program for high school students.
The program introduction will take place on September 8th. Six additional sessions will follow through the remainder of the school year, covering a variety of health-related topics. The sessions take place virtually via Zoom on the first Monday of every month from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. You will receive the Zoom link once you have completed your registration.
We encourage Sophomore, Junior, and Senior students from rural or other underrepresented backgrounds to apply for this program!
