Come join an amazing summer program at Della Keats as a Youth Peer Mentor! We are recruiting for multiple full-time positions lasting from mid-May to mid-July, summer 2024.
The Della Keats program is a 4-week camp the University of Alaska provides, named after an Alaska Native Inupiaq traditional healer from the Kotzebue region. Della Keats provided educational and medical services to her people throughout her life and believed strongly in the importance of expanding, maintaining, and sharing medical knowledge in ways that would benefit both Alaska Native people and the broader Alaskan community.
The camp will offer a series of intensive residential summer programs that prepare and inspire Alaskan high school students to pursue higher education with a focus on a career in the health profession. Participants will experience university residential life, complete health science-related pre-college coursework, carry out health-related research projects, and complete at least four different medical or healthcare professional job shadows.
The youth peer mentor position requires applicants to have graduated from high school and have a minimum of 20 university credits successfully completed. Pay starts at a minimum of $20.47 and depends on experience.
