Exploring This Job
Volunteering at a social service agency or a local medical office while you are still in high school is a good way to begin exploring the field of community health. This will introduce you to the challenges faced by underserved communities (e.g., poverty, lack of quality medical care, lack of access to healthy food) and allow you to meet and observe community health educators and coordinators. In college, continue this exploration by participating in internships and/or co-op experiences at community health employers.
