Teen Experience and Leadership Program

Grady’s Teen Experience and Leadership Program (TELP), sponsored by the Office of Health Equity, is open to youth in high school and between the ages of 14-19. Teens shadow professionals in the hospital in 4-hour shifts. A minimum of one shift per 2 weeks is required. Hours count as volunteer hours. TELP offers a viable and dynamic solution through its mission to:

• Enhance community partnerships by providing opportunities for teens to experience working in a healthcare system.
• Provide exposure and experience with various health occupations.
• Teach and enhance leadership skills.
• Increase the workforce by developing a healthcare pipeline.
• Provide opportunities for employees to be role models and increase their community engagement.
