Major Activities

Activity 2

K-12 programs-1) In FY 2009-2010, the A.K.A. Science Program served 1,295 kindergarten through fifth grade students in hands-on after-school science classes. Results from our annual evaluation show that 82% of students improved their attitudes toward school and 87% improved their attitudes toward science, after their participation in an eight week A.K.A. Science session. Further, our A.K.A. Science Class Leaders report that students are more excited about going to school as a result of the program because confidence in their academic abilities grows throughout the program. The Class Leaders also report that students become much more comfortable with and confident in science as they begin to see themselves as scientists. 2) In FY 2009-2010, Health Career Day (a one-day conference style event for high school students who are interested in pursuing careers in health) served over 1,500 youth. Volunteer presenters representing nearly 60 health professions shared the academic requirements and job skills needed for a variety of health careers. 3) In FY 2009-2010, the Kaiser Permanente Health Care Careers Scholarship Program awarded a $2,000 scholarship to one student at each of 113 high schools in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Preference for the scholarship goes to students who meet one of these qualifications: (1) First in their family to go to college, (2) Speaks another language in addition to English, (3) Is from an ethnic or racial group currently under-represented in a health profession, or (4) Is from a low-income family.
