How can I grow my non-profit and make an impact?
Hi! I recently founded this non-profit called ARNA Project and our mission is to provided healthcare literacy, support and inform student who are interested in medicine or science about opportunities (scholarship, research opportunities, basic knowledge like chemistry, what is neuro disease etc) through educational content posted on social media, and lastly care package send to hospital and mental health insitution as I notice many patients experience loneliness during their worst time so a small care package would remind them that they’re value, seen and support! Currently I’m working on social media and recruitment as we’re newly founded. Some future project I hope to accomplish by 2029 is 1. Care package send to hospital/ mental health insitution 2. A penpal program where kid struggles with mental/physical health can make friend through letter (volunteer) 3. Course/ workshop ( topic is still not decided yet) 4. health care literacy (Medicaid, insurance etc) through flyer in hospital, school, community in different languages 5. A proposed bill making basic healthcare literacy mandatory in high school or elementary ( I think this would be important since hs student is going into early adulthood and it would be great for them to understand their insurance etc) 6. Outreach and maintain sponsorship/partner ship with hospital/ non-profit/ education board etc (policy maker etc) There is more but those are what on our timeline right now. If anyone have any tips like how to build a website, finance, people we can collab with, anyone we can outreach too, etc would be really helpful! As said I am a junior in high school and is really new to this stuff. Any information is worth reading to me!:)

What career route should I go for PA school?
My goal is to get into PA school and become a physician assistant. I currently work at a senior care facility as a front desk receptionist, but there are openings for caregiver positions. I’ve emailed a few PA programs to ask whether the caregiver role would count as patient care experience. Two programs said it would count, while one said it would not, and I’m still waiting to hear back from others. I don’t have a CNA certification, and honestly, caregiving is not something I’m very interested in. I would prefer a role where I could take vitals and perform more clinical tasks. I’ve applied to medical assistant positions that do not require certification, but I haven’t had any luck, and getting a CMA certification is very expensive. I’m unsure whether I should take the caregiver opportunity to begin gaining patient care hours (that may possibly not count) or wait for a position that is more closely related to medical assisting and get certified. I would really appreciate any honest advice.
