Organizations/Programs for Healthcare and/or Health Policy
Does anyone know any good programs for high school students based on healthcare/health policy/mental health?

i read the other answer and they're right. Unfortunately you probably won't get an internship or a high end research volunteer shop or something without personally knowing the employer. Internships are mostly accepted for college students. I would recommend (depending on your grade) volunteering at a local hospital or clinic near you and trying to "rise in the ranks" and getting more responsibility, because unfortunately most hospitals or clinics won't give out a big responsibility job like that.
You can look into your local hospital and see if they have any programs. Most hospitals will have programs for teens.

I'm aware that I wouldn't be able to assist the medical staff or have managerial positions but I've seen high schoolers help with marketing an initiative, managing their social media accounts, write articles for an app/company's blog, propose projects to reach a wider audience, coordinate guest speaker events, organize presentations, work with the staff on co-authoring research etc. as part of these programs. I've found one, and I was hoping to find similar ones for gaining more experience.
