The Health Occupations Partners in Education (HOPE) Program is a multi-faceted educational partnership designed to support students in grades 6-12 in the Ypsilanti Public School District in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Our overall goal is to facilitate successful progression of students along the health professions pipeline. Specifically, HOPE aims to increase interest in health and science careers and to improve academic achievement among students who are underrepresented in the health and science professions. HOPE students participate in a variety of activities designed to provide academic support, educational enrichment, college preparation and career exploration opportunities. These activities include after-school programs, job shadowing, field trips, research internships, and college preparation workshops. For more information, please call Yolanda Campbell, Program Director at 734-615-2465 or e-mail Yodav@med.umich.edu.
