STUDEnt-led projects
Types of projects:
As a CareForAll member, you’ll implement hands-on projects to address community-level health inequities, working towards our ultimate goal of global public health equity.
A Student-Led Project is a type of health promotion project. Health promotion is the process of empowering people to gain control over and improve their health by addressing the social and environmental factors.

Health Essentials
Projects
address immediate community
health needs by improving access to essential resources, services, or supports, with a focus on equity, accessibility, and tangible impact.
2
Education Projects
focus on learning and knowledge-sharing. Students research health topics using credible sources and translate their findings into clear, accessible information to build awareness and support informed health decisions by designing and hosting workshops.
3
Advocacy Projects
improve health outcomes by educating members on the strategies necessary to make a real-world impact in the space. Students identify a health issue, center community needs or lived experience, and take concrete steps, such as proposing solutions, engaging institutions, or communicating with local leaders, all to drive meaningful change.

Create Your Own
Projects
are self-designed and center on individual interests, strengths, or community concerns. Students take initiative to create their own approach while staying grounded in health, equity, and well-being.
Why Start a Student-Led Project?
Young people are uniquely positioned to shift attitudes toward an upstream focus on healthcare access, targeting the problem at its roots.
A youth-led approach is also central to CareForAll’s commitment to leveraging fresh insights and perspectives to address public health challenges.
