POYSE's mission is to promote youth interest in higher education & health awareness in the Stockton community, using pharmacy students as role models and mentors. This program aims to create and maintain strong bonds with local schools and to connect passionate pharmacy students with the youth of Stockton to provide, early on, the resources to obtain higher education and the paths taken to reach t
hose goals. In the past, POYSE has held higher education workshops at local high schools and middle schools, interactive health fairs with elementary schools, and a Mentorship Day filled with one on one mentoring with pharmacy students and workshops on higher education and health careers. The co-chairs are meant to facilitate and create an environment for students to serve.
