MLK award winner: Elhadji Gueye

The winner of the JHSJP 2024 MLK Award is Elhadji Gueye for demonstrating a commitment to serving others, promoting equality, and acting selflessly in his volunteer work. Elhadji is an exemplary candidate for the award due to his contributions and impactful work in Care Coordination this summer. Beyond his technical skills, his dedication extends to his personal drive as he biked daily to work through harsh summer conditions without complaint. His community involvement is equally impressive, with volunteer work with Planned Parenthood, peer conflict resolution initiatives, and efforts to enhance public transportation for students. Elhadji's blend of leadership, respect, and dedication to positive change at such a young age made him a truly deserving MLK Award winner.

History of Program

This year we celebrated the 30-year anniversary of the Johns Hopkins Summer Jobs Program. For the past three decades, this program has provided opportunities for youth to explore healthcare careers at various Johns Hopkins Hospitals. While the program has vastly grown and changed over time, our mission to support our next generation of healthcare leaders and provide equitable opportunities has stayed the same.
