Hispanic and Latino communities comprise the largest minority group in the United States—18.9% of the overall population. However, Hispanic and Latino professionals make up just 12.7% of the state and local public health workforce. To address this lack of representation of Hispanic and Latino professionals in the public health workforce, SOPHE is launching the Step-Up Pipelines Program. Increasing Hispanic and Latino representation is a critical step to address racial health inequities. A workforce that represents the population they serve is better equipped to meet the needs of diverse communities. The Step-Up Pipelines program encourages Hispanic and Latino students to pursue undergraduate degrees in public health and health education.

The program provides students with the opportunity:

  • To learn more about the public health and health promotion field.
  • To explore a variety of career options.
  • To develop personal and professional skills.


A cohort of undergraduate students from six partner Hispanic Serving Institutions will participate in the eight-month pilot program. Partner institutions are listed below: 

  • Lehman College, New York
  • Montclair State University, New Jersey
  • Florida International University, Florida
  • Northwest Vista College, Texas
  • Doña Ana Community College, New Mexico
  • Chaffey College, California

At the end of the eight-month program, students will report:

  • Attending and participating in required sessions addressing health education, public health, professional development, and related topics.
    • Students will have the opportunity to lead a webinar, journal club, or workshop to share a public health topic of interest with the group if interested.
  • Engaging regularly with local SOPHE chapter events and activities.
  • Meeting with a SOPHE mentor monthly (or more frequently) to discuss personal and professional goals and development.
