Healthcare Exploring Summer Program

We are excited to offer a week-long, hands-on experience for youth and young adults interested in exploring careers in the healthcare field through our Annual Healthcare Exploring Program.

This day-only program runs July 20–24, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, beginning each morning at the Monmouth Council Service Center in Morganville, NJ. On days when we visit healthcare facilities, transportation and proper adult supervision are provided.

The cost of this immersive experience is $360 per participant, and space is limited.

What Is Healthcare Career Exploring?

Healthcare Career Exploring is a dynamic, hands-on program open to young men and women ages 14–20 who want to learn more about careers in the healthcare industry.
