Native Health Initiative

We sincerely hope you will consider applying for our Summer 2011 internships, to be hosted by NHI-NM/AZ (volunteers will serve in either NM or AZ).

This a unique internship program in many respects:

1) It is run by Tribes and health professions students

2) The health projects are created and organized by the Tribal communities

3) There is minimal monetary funding that is used to run the internships. For instance, in the summer of 2008, there were 4,750 hours of "loving service" poured into the summer's work, while only $3000 dollars was used by NHI to fund the work. In 2009, 6,000 total hours and less than $2,000!

 4) Lots of fun, sharing of cultures!

If you have further questions, please contact one of the NHI Coordinators.

We are also happy to put you in touch with past NHI summer interns who can share their experience with you.
