Community Programs

Johns Hopkins is committed to developing our future workforce by exposing youth to careers in health care and providing them with development opportunities. Youth attending school in or around the city of Baltimore can benefit from mentoring, paid and non-paid internships, scholarships, job shadowing, lectures, college and career fairs and tours of the Johns Hopkins facilities.

Adults residing in the East Baltimore and greater Baltimore communities can benefit from programs that provide customized occupational skills training, preparing them for entry-level positions at Johns Hopkins. Valuable life skills, such as attendance, punctuality, office etiquette, appearance standards and customer service also are examples of the skills offered as part of the preparation. Through relationships with local city agencies and community-based organizations, we create a channel for community residents to take advantage of job opportunities in the health care arena.
