Are you interested in becoming a role model for Hispanic youth in underserved communities?

The Senderos a la Ciencia/Pathways to Science project is funded by the National Institute for Health (NIH) - Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA). This project is further supported by the Hispanic Access Foundation (HAF) in their efforts to elevate the voices of Latino leaders. This project aims to raise awareness and instill value in under-resourced Hispanic communities, fostering an interest in pursuing health research careers within these communities. 

Role Model Talks will consist of bilingual presentations related to pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). As a role model, you would assist the Hispanic Access Foundation in conducting bilingual public outreach to Hispanic communities in New London, Connecticut. Role Model Talk speakers will receive a stipend and coaching on how to deliver talks 60 to 90 minute talks. This opportunity will enable role models to expand their professional network. The opportunity dates are listed below, and we encourage individuals from the New England area to apply!
