What if the journey toward your Portrait of a Graduate began long before high school? Scrub Club is a hands-on health career exploration program that introduces students beginning in grade 2 to the world of healthcare through interactive, age-appropriate activities. Discover how early career-connected learning sparks curiosity and builds the competencies at the heart of the Portrait of a Graduate—communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and self-awareness. Central to this work is the power of community partnerships: you'll see how schools can join forces with local health organizations and healthcare professionals to create authentic, developmentally appropriate experiences that ground career exploration in the hands-on learning young children thrive on. You'll leave with a replicable program model, practical activity ideas, and a partnership framework you can adapt for your own youngest learners.
