Blaze a trail to a healthier future

A new opportunity for students who join Calvin in the fall of 2024.

In a time of pandemic, one thing is clear: the physical, mental, and spiritual health of our communities affects each and every one of us. If ever there was a time for passionate thinkers and problem-solvers to step forward and chart a course to a healthier society, it is now.

As a Health Ambassador, you’ll be part of a tight-knit group that shares your passion for shaping healthier communities. And because this is Calvin, you’ll learn by doing—solving real-world problems in real communities. You could spearhead a health-focused service project in a local neighborhood. You might travel abroad to see firsthand how different communities grapple uniquely with the challenge of public wellness.

The challenges we face can be as broad as a pandemic and as local as a single person’s mental health. As a health ambassador, you’ll graduate with the skill and experience to lead from the front lines.

Who qualifies

  • High school seniors planning to enter Calvin University in fall 2024.
  • Students pursuing health-related careers or intending to study in academic programs related to holistic health such as nursing, social work, kinisiology, biology, or pre-med.
  • Students must be admitted to Calvin in order to interview for a cohort. Apply to the HA cohort today and be sure to submit your Calvin application, too.
