Our Mission & Vision
Mission: To expose Maryland high school students to public health issues and careers.
Vision: Striving to be the world’s leader in public health exposure, outreach, and education for teens.
The Problem
Many high school students are unaware of what public health is, or the careers available within the field. Limited exposure to public health professionals and topics in a formal setting, such as schools, contributes to this information gap.
The Solution
PHACE-IT is the first organization of its kind to specifically target Maryland public high school students for the sole purpose of expanding their knowledge about public health issues and careers. PHACE-IT aims to decrease this professional and educational gap, as the organization offers another avenue to promote quality career preparation and lifelong learning.
