Youth Health Equity Council
Are you ready to make a difference?
What is the Youth Health Equity Council?
Locally sponsored by UCSF Health, the American Heart Association’s Youth Health Equity Council engages high school students as leaders for change in promoting health equity in the Bay Area. Through the Council, members build a toolkit of personal and professional skills, learn about health inequities, conduct research on the health priorities in their communities and advocate for change. Each meeting will feature guest speakers ranging from doctors and researchers to community advocacy leaders.
Are you a Bay Area high school student who's ready to make a positive change in your community? Apply today!
