About Global Health Corps
Global Health Corps (GHC) is a leadership development organization focused on building the next generation of diverse, disruptive global health leaders. Founded in 2009, we competitively recruit talented professionals (ages 21-30) from a range of sectors and backgrounds and place them in high-impact roles within partner organizations — including Clinton Health Access Initiative, Partners in Health, Planned Parenthood Global, and Government Ministries in Zambia, Rwanda, and Uganda — working on the front lines of health equity in Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, the US, and Zambia.
GHC is seeking fellows from a wide range of backgrounds, geographies, and expertise. Through a one-year paid fellowship program, fellows provide the expertise and leadership potential needed to fill capacity gaps in global health.
About Placement Organization
The Boys & Girls Club of Newark seeks to provide a world-class Club experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who enters our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.
BGCN’s team of dedicated youth development specialists, along with our volunteers, are focused on helping young people—especially those children considered at-risk—by providing a wide range of programs and services through after school and summer camp experiences.
In 2014, BGCN launched components of our Family Wellness Center program. Moving forward, BGCN plans to expand its programming in the area of health and wellness. The Family Wellness Center is a new programming area centered on “counseling and behavioral health”, along with “family support and prevention”. Parenting skills, increased problem solving abilities, and decreased high-risk behaviors are just a few of the areas that are addressed through this program.
BGCN is a not-for-profit organization celebrating nearly 80 years of service in Newark, NJ.
