Their programs have helped hundreds of Northeast Ohio high school students to develop their passion for health care: millions of dollars of scholarships offered to student interns, hundreds of students accepted at prominent colleges & universities, and the students have been guided by hundreds of thousands of mentorship hours. Plus, the students’ innovative work is helping doctors and health care professionals provide better outcomes. The Cleveland Clinic’s Office of Civic Education Initiatives offers creative learning opportunities to enhance student education in science, math and the arts, as well as health and wellness. And they get to work on cool, innovative projects.
