Seeking Patient Care?
Mission
The Student Emerging Leaders Program (SELP) seeks to create and sustain an inclusive experiential program for high school students on leadership, inclusion/awareness, and exposure to health care professions related to intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) populations and to teach them strategies to create systems-level change.
Vision
High school students will become future leaders and champions advocating for a more inclusive society.
Objectives of SELP
- Each year a cohort of six to eight high school students will complete a nine-month mentored leadership experience. This will increase to eight students in Year 2 and 16 in Years 3, 4, & 5
- Each year the SELP cohort will complete a community service action project.
- To expose high school students from underserved communities to workforce development in the health care field, specifically in the area of I/DD-NDD.
Expected Outcomes
Initial outcome: 80% of SELP participants rate the program “good” or better.
Intermediate outcome: 50% of SELP graduates are engaged in community service or advocacy activities 12 months after graduation.
