Job Description

SUMMARY

The original FACES for the Future Health Scholars program was established in 2000 at Children's Hospital of Oakland; in 2011 FACES programs moved under the fiscal sponsorship of Public Health Institute, which allowed the creation of FACES for the Future Coalition (www.facesforthefuture.org). The Coalition, now national, both runs its own programs in California and New Mexico and supports affiliate members in San Diego and Colorado. Innovative and health careers focused, there are three main FACES programs: Health Scholars, Public Health Youth Corps, and the Summer Medical Academy. All FACES programs serve public high school students interested in public, medical, behavioral and global health careers. The Coalition's work also includes new program and curriculum development, technical assistance consulting, evaluation, marketing and communications, and fund development.
