Student and Young Professional Program
The Student and Young Professional (SYP) Program supports students and early-career public health professionals by creating opportunities to connect, learn, and grow within our community. Through networking events, skills-based sessions, and mentorship, SYP helps members explore career paths, build professional confidence, and develop leadership through meaningful engagement and service.
Mentorship Program
The SYP Mentorship Program pairs students and young professionals with experienced public health mentors to support career development, goal setting, and professional networking. Mentor and mentee matches are based on shared interests, career goals, and availability. Participants receive a mentorship toolkit with conversation prompts and check-in guidance to help structure meetings and sustain engagement throughout the year.
