A Community Benefit Program geared toward 11th & 12th grade students, the Kaiser Permanente L.A.U.N.C.H. (Learn About Unlimited New Careers in Health Care) High School Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) has been creating opportunities for underserved high school students since 1968. The program offers paid summer work experience at Kaiser Permanente facilities throughout California and encourages students to consider that lifelong learning and earning power begins with a high school diploma.

Students will be paid for their time, working in one of our departments while learning about careers in health care. Additionally, when a certified Regional Occupational Program (ROP) teacher is involved and you complete the various components of the program, you can earn up to 10 Cooperative Vocational Education (CVE) units. These units may be added to the total units required for high school graduation.

To apply to the program you must be an underserved youth and have the following qualifications:

• Must be between 15-20 years of age. Priority is given to 11th and 12th grade students (juniors & seniors)
• Current work permit for students under 18
• Valid photo identification
• Proof of eligibility to work in the United States
