Prize
The three winners of the summer internship competition will be selected to be the 2025 Summer Intern Class at the Blueprints for Pangaea Headquarters located at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The internship will be conducted primarily virtual with some in-person opportunities. Blueprints For Pangaea is a student-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that reallocates excess, unused medical supplies from U.S. hospitals to areas in need overseas. Our mission is to minimize supply chain inefficiencies and mobilize accessible healthcare in emerging communities.
To date, we have reallocated over $6.8 million dollars of unused medical supplies to communities in need. From Ukraine to Syria, we have donated to 15+ countries worldwide. In the past, we have partnered with the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS), the cabinet of the Prime Minister of Niger, Project C.U.R.E. and countless others. Our organization has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, Barron’s, and many other accredited publications. We have 10 national chapters: The University of Michigan (headquarters), Michigan State University, Ohio State University, Wayne State University, University of Southern California, Rutgers University, Washington University, University of Miami Medical School, Santa Clara University, and New York University.

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about global health and aspire to evoke positive worldly change.
As a part-time Intern at the headquarters of Blueprints for Pangaea, located at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor will have the opportunity to spend 10-15 hours per week during the summer immersing themselves in the organization, as well as networking and mentorship opportunities. This is an excellent opportunity for high school students to make a tangible impact in addressing medical supply inequities while gaining valuable professional development skills to prepare for their future career.
