Summer Career Advance and Resource Enrichment (C.A.R.E.) Program

The Summer Career Advance and Resource Enrichment Program is an intense five-week summer experience for underrepresented minority students at Alabama State University.

Trainees will engage in various activities related to maternal and child health. Program activities will focus on strengthening a wide range of skills important to the four themes: Leadership, Academic Skills Acquisition, Career Development and Exploration, and Cultural Responsibility. Additionally, summer trainees will have the opportunity to receive college credit.

 

STIPENDS/HOUSING/PARKING

Trainees will receive a stipend, to include all books and related materials needed for the program.
