JHHS Adopt-A-Class/Career Day Program

The Adopt-A-Class/Career Day Program mission is to introduce fourth graders at local elementary schools- Henderson Hopkins, Tench Tilghman, City Springs, and Inner Harbor East Academy -to the careers offered at hospitals and to expand their knowledge of career choices in general. To put theory into practice, teams are created with three Johns Hopkins’ volunteers from different departments on each team. Each team is assigned to a fourth grade classroom. The teams visit the same classroom - once a month for an hour from October through March - to address a special topic. Each team member does a presentation on his/her part of the topic. At the end of each session student questions are entertained and they are able to record reflections of their experience in their journals.
