Are you interested in serving your community and empowering the next generation of healthy leaders? HealthCorps and our mission to improve the lives of youth, both mentally and physically, provides you with the opportunity to do just that.
Who We Are
We’re HealthCorps – a national, non-profit organization committed to improving lives by addressing health challenges in communities through programming that includes innovative and engaging experiences for teens in education, leadership, and service learning. We empower teens by encouraging them to become agents within their families, schools, and neighborhoods. Our program is grounded in the understanding that limited access to health education can lead to a lifetime of social, emotional, and physical challenges.

Where You Fit In We’re looking for a creative, friendly, self-starter who will implement an innovative wellness club, Teens Make Health Happen in high schools in Palm Beach County, Florida. The TMHH Club empowers teens to make healthier choices for themselves and their families. You will serve as a catalyst for sustainable change, promoting improved health and wellness, and creating leadership opportunities for teens at your assigned sites.
As a TMHH Mentor, you will serve as a near-peer mentor to high school students throughout the academic year. You will gain hands on experience leading our health and wellness club, Teens Make Health Happen, in area schools and by supporting teens in planning and leading wellness programming such as lunchtime demonstrations, step challenges and community improvement projects.
HealthCorps will work with you and your university to provide college credit* for the mentorship.
*Depending on the specific requirements and guidelines of your university, this may be in the form of college or course credit or practicum hours.
You will receive ongoing training, professional development, and mentorship throughout your time in the mentorship program. You will gain direct experience in public health and the education system and have opportunities to network with community leaders in the field.
You will receive a stipend based on the number of sites you serve. This stipend is intended to help alleviate potential costs that you may incur from participating in the program. You may use these funds for whatever you feel you need it for (bus passes, gas, professional clothing, parking, meals while serving, etc.) and it will be distributed in monthly installments.
