Many teenagers struggle to find their place in a world that is focused more on what is wrong than what is right and what we can do to make it better. Even ambitious teens who want to make the world better are often at a loss about which careers to pursue.
This is your chance to make a difference and leave an impression with young people who may become the builders of tomorrow.
Sponsor the 2026 Progress in Medicine career exploration program for high school students and invest in the next generation of talent. Place your brand in front of ambitious teens and help guide them toward high-impact careers in your field of medicine, biotech, health, and longevity. Your tax-deductible contribution supports this new program and gives you exposure to these talented people early—while enabling us to build a career resource like no other, one that’s focused on inspiring builders and on recognizing and celebrating the heroes that create the modern world.
Email [email protected] to contact Heike Larson, Vice President of Programs, for more info on this tax-deductible sponsorship opportunity.
The 2026 Progress in Medicine program will enroll 30-60 ambitious teenagers—rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are excited about careers in medicine, biotech, health, longevity, and who are bound for college or who may set out to build their own thing out of high school.
We expect a strong applicant pool and will select students based on their written application and Zoom interview—similar to the process we run to select our RPI blog-building fellows from the hundreds of applications we receive each year. We’re setting high expectations on attendance and participation. As a sponsor, you have a variety of opportunities to ensure these talented young people know who you are and why the problem you’re solving is one worthy to consider as they choose their careers after high school.
Sponsorships are available at levels from $10K to $200K. You can sponsor the development of the entire Progress in Medicine program, support students with scholarships, or enable us to create compelling day-in-the-life videos which will inspire program participants for years to come and form the backbone of the planned builder careers student website. Sponsors receive the following, depending on sponsorship level:
