Public Health Advancement and Career Exposure for Interested Teens, Inc. (PHACE-IT, Inc.) is a Maryland-based non-profit organization designed to increase teen public health awareness.
Public health is defined as the science of improving the health and protecting the well-being of individuals, families, and communities through education, policy-making, research, and service.
Our Mission
To expose Maryland high school students to public health issues and careers.
PHACE-IT is governed by a Board of Directors with diverse professional backgrounds, including public health practitioners with over a decade of public health experience. The team is committed to providing teens with opportunities to further their public health knowledge.
PHACE-IT is designed to educate teens about public health issues and careers. The program utilizes an innovative approach, which includes an active learning style intended to enhance group discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned to real-world situations.
The public health workforce is steadily declining! The United States has made strengthening the nation’s public health workforce a priority. A career in public health opens the door to multiple opportunities in a variety of public and private sectors.
Examples of jobs in this field include:
Health educators
Restaurant inspectors
Scientists and researchers
Nutritionists
Epidemiologists
Occupational health and safety professionals
Policymakers
Community planners
Healthcare administrators
