Is the ACE Mentorship Program good for Architecture? Are there any programs similar in Florida that are less of a time commitment?

I have done online courses on platforms such as edX, but was hoping to have more real-life practice and experience in making plans, constructing models, etc. My only issue in participating in the ACE program in Central Florida is the time commitment, as I have practice afterschool most days. Has any student or mentor know what the schedule normally looks like, and if it possible to hold meetings on weekends? Also how good it is for architecture? Thank you!

How do I create a completly unique non-profit that helps people who don't have proper access to healthcare?

I plan to collaborate with friends and raise awareness through social media. However, I realize that many people with similar goals might be doing something along the same lines.

What's my next step for the summer as a rising senior intending to major in pharmacology if most are not available?
Following up with my previous question on what part time job I can get for pharmacology, I tried applying for a pharmacy clerk position at a local Walgreen. However, Michigan law (where I'm at) says that we must have a high school diploma to get a job at a pharmacy. Same with most hospitals: most prefer if you are in college or have at least some medical experience. I am still waiting for a couple internship summer program results. I'm also trying to reach out to local college professors, research centers, and small pharmaceutical companies if they would let me intern over the summer, but I'm not so sure if they would take me in. I do have a great volunteer work though! Been going at it for the last couple months at a blood donation center :) Any other suggestions on what I can do over the summer to prepare myself for college?
