Milwaukee AHEC partners with Messmer High School and the UW School of Medicine & Public Health - TRIUMPH Program , to implement Youth Health Service Corps (YHSC). Milwaukee AHEC started YHSC in 2008 and continues to this day to inspire teens to explore health careers.

The TRIUMPH medical students serve as mentors and provide hands- on activities, field trips and service-learning project support to the YHSC members. Many YHSC graduates are now public health professionals and health care providers.

Milwaukee AHEC partners with the Milwaukee Public Schools to facilitate a HOSA Future Health Professionals Chapter with James Madison Academic Campus, North Division High School, South Division High School, Riverside University High School, and Milwaukee Marshall High School. The mission of HOSA is to empower HOSA-Future Health Professionals to become leaders in the global health community through education, collaboration, and experience. The purpose of HOSA-Future Health Professionals is to develop leadership and technical HOSA skill competencies through a program of motivation, awareness, and recognition, which is an integral part of the Health Science Education instructional program.

Milwaukee AHEC hosts an AmeriCorps member through the Marshfield Clinic Health System AmeriCorps Community Corps Program to lead this partnership.
