Project AHEAD Internships

Project Asian Health Education and Development (AHEAD) is a 10-week, paid, summer internship program designed to provide training and firsthand experience to undergraduate students interested in pursuing healthcare careers. Project AHEAD 2026 will take place from Monday, June 01, 2026 through Friday, August 07, 2026, and will be primarily located in lower Manhattan.

Our goals are:

• To increase interns' interest in and awareness of the history and dynamics of the New York Asian American community, as well as the particular needs, challenges, and strengths of Asian American communities
• To provide exposure to community health and its various components, including primary care, social work, health education, programming, and research at a federally qualified health center
• To motivate the next generation of community health leaders to serve historically excluded communities and eliminate health disparities
• To help interns develop a better understanding of themselves as individuals and as valued contributing members to their communities

Applications for the 2026 program are now open! Applications must be submitted no later than Monday, January 19, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Please visit bit.ly/ProjectAHEAD2026 for more information and to apply.
