• The Resilient Minds Project: A mental health series focused on emotional literacy and peer connection that has provided hundreds of youth with essential toolkits.

• Youth Advocacy & Leadership: Through our Webinar Series and podcast we explore pathways to med school and how high schoolers can influence health policy right now.

• Community Service: From our Virtual Cards for Nurses initiative to creative writing contests we find unique ways to foster empathy and civic engagement.
