Opportunities with HPREP
Are you interested in mentoring, teaching, or outreach to Boston-area high school students?
Health Professions Recruitment & Exposure Program (HPREP) is an outreach program hosted by Harvard to recruit high school students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds into science, medicine, and public health. The mission of HPREP is to equip high school students with knowledge, skills, confidence, and community necessary to pursue education and careers in these fields by eliminating educational disparities and increasing representation of underrepresented and disadvantaged groups in science and health professions.
The goal of HPREP is to use fun, hands-on lectures and labs paired with one-on-one mentoring to give students the excitement, confidence, and role models necessary for them to succeed in these fields. Sessions include topics like cancer biology, infectious diseases, neuroscience, leadership, and more!
HPREP will be run online this year on 10 Saturdays from November to January.
If you are interested in mentoring students, teaching/developing lessons, labs, and workshops, or helping with program development and coordination, we would love to have you join our team! There are many roles to fill, some with very little time commitment and others with more.
If you wish to learn more, please email at hprep@hms.harvard.edu, or visit the HPREP website.
