ABOUT H.O.P.E. Program

Health Occupations Promoting Equity (HOPE) is a statewide program done in collaboration among the 6 regional AHEC Centers in Colorado. The program is a health career exploration program for high school students.


There is an introduction session to the program done in September and 6 sessions following through the remainder of the school year covering a variety of health related topics. The sessions take place the first Monday of every month from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. You can attend these sessions in person at a regional center or virtually via Zoom.


We encourage Sophomore, Junior, and Senior students from rural or other underrepresented backgrounds to apply for this program!
