Summer Youth Employment
The Brown University Health Summer Youth Employment program is providing opportunities to youth in our community and benefiting Brown University Health's workforce.
Upon graduation in August, our summer employees take with them a wealth of personal and professional experience, with some youth even gaining permanent employment. Brown University Health also stays in contact with the teens beyond the summer to continue career counseling and support.
