COACH: Community, Opportunities, Advancement at Children’s Hospital
Boston Children’s Hospital
Students are referred to the COACH Internship Program through several community-based organizations throughout the Boston area. Since the program started in 2007, over 800 youth have participated. Most have gone onto college after their experience in the program, and several have been hired by Boston Children’s Hospital. This year’s virtual internships are 20 hours per week for high school interns and 30 hours per week for college interns with a Monday-Thursday schedule. The program consists of college mentorship by COACH college interns, workshops to enhance professional development, employee guest speakers, and a college and career showcase.
