Young Doctors DC is a youth non-profit organization based in Washington, DC that aims to invest in the youth through the art of medicine. They provide mentoring, education, and pipeline to health careers programs for high school boys of color, training them in preventive medicine, mental health, and health issues in underserved communities.
Selected participants join Young Doctors DC during their freshman year of high school and remain in the program until graduation. They receive intensive summer programs and Saturday academies at Howard University, and are equipped to address health disparities by conducting free health clinics in their community under the supervision of YDDC staff doctors.
