“CPASS” stands for “Creating Pathways and Access for Student Success.” CPASS Foundation was established in 2017 in Chicago by Dr. Eric Whitaker, an expert in the health issues of African-American communities. The foundation is an outgrowth of the longstanding Chicago Area Health and Medical Careers Program (CAHMCP), known as “Champs.”
We offer exposure to STEM careers in medicine and other fields that many students have even never heard about. We partner with universities, medical schools, and other organizations to provide rewarding enrichment opportunities that strengthen academic skills. Our clearinghouse makes it easy to find the best after-school, weekend, or summer program for every student. You can search for programs in your neighborhood that offer the most educational value for your student.
