The TCMH Youth Ambassador program is about area high school and college students exploring medical career opportunities and developing workplace skill sets while volunteering their time at the hospital. The program has had wonderful participation from area schools since its inception. Youth Ambassadors have volunteered approximately 10,000 hours at the hospital since the program began in December 2009.
To further support the Youth Ambassador program, the Healthcare Foundation established an endowed scholarship fund in 2015. The scholarship awards are made on an annual basis to outstanding ambassadors from the program. Many local community partners and organizations have helped to grow the scholarship fund and better reward deserving area youths. We are very thankful for their continued support!
