Students 4 Public Health

Students 4 Public Health (S4PH) is an undergraduate organization of School of Public Health students committed to improving population health, promoting individual well-being, and eliminating health disparities across San Diego and globally.

We take action through hands-on service, education, and advocacy. Our members have participated in impactful initiatives such as the Public Health Brigade to Honduras in partnership with Global Brigades, and Tijuana one-day home builds, which give students a one-day experience to make an immediate impact. Along with that, we also provide a multitude of workshops and trainings, including a Stop the Bleed workshop, basic life support, and a Narcan training.

Locally, we organize eight+ annual community service events across San Diego, biweekly public health talks and workshops (open to all students, in-person and virtual), and fundraisers that raised over $500 last semester through collaborations with businesses like IZOLA, Rubios, Handel’s, and Matcha Cafe Maiko. We also host regular social events to foster a supportive and inclusive community for our members.

Through these efforts, we aim to empower students to engage meaningfully with public health, both in their communities and their careers.

S4PH Mentor Mentee Program

Navigating a new field can feel overwhelming, and that's exactly why we're excited to launch our mentor-mentee program! Mentors are our executive board members and upperclassmen involved in S4PH, ready to pair with you for guidance on classes, school, and social life, not just career and public health questions. Whether you need advice on choosing the right courses, want a sounding board for tough decisions, or simply want a consistent person to check in with throughout the semester, this program pairs you with someone who's walked a similar path. We aim to create lasting, meaningful connections where mentees can grow with support and mentors can give back by sharing their experience both in and out of the classroom.
