School-to-Career Internship Program

YNHH provides  a limited number of internships for high school seniors attending a New Haven public school, particularly students interested in pursuing one of our in-demand healthcare careers. The internship program consists of a five-week, 20-hour-per-week summer placement. For more information, see your school counselor.

John C. Daniels School Partnership

The partnership consists of two unique programs involving YNHHS employees and JCD students. The first is the mock trial, in which Yale New Haven’s Legal & Risk Services team members coach students on various aspects of a trial, culminating in The People vs. Paul Bunyan. The mock trial occurs in a real courtroom and is presided over by a state judge. The other program is the annual model rocket launch, during which students apply STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) principles, and build, decorate and launch their own rockets.
