UCSF's Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP)
SEP has several excellent programs that our faculty have participated in, such as the summer Internship Program and the fall Bay Area Science Festival.
Dr. Jeanne Paz and Dr. Scott Zamvil have hosted interns through the Internship Program.
Each program has a different start date and other parameters. Read more on the SEP website to find a program that works for you.
Our colleagues in the Department of Neurological Surgery have established a partnership with SF Oasis for Girls that began in 2017. Yesenia Velasquez coordinates activities for three cohorts per year at UCSF.
Mentorship hosts are needed for interns to visit your lab, center, or professional space (e.g. office, conference room, educational space). This is a voluntary 1-2 hour commitment on one day for a single session during the internship.
The UCSF Office of Diversity & Outreach has a Diversity Hub with over 260 programs. The list is searchable - give it a spin: https://diversity.ucsf.edu/hub-program/
