My question is this: what types of careers or jobs or work do these items below suggest to you?

Hoping this forum is appropriate for my question. I’m 55 years old and recently sold a successful Acupuncture office that my wife and I owned for 26 years in order for us to move across country to her hometown. I’m looking for a new career that would best utilize my skills, my areas of knowledge, etc. Areas I’m most interested in: 1. A job that sits at the intersection of natural healthcare (I have a Master’s Degree of Science in Oriental Medicine) and International Relations (which is my undergraduate degree). I would love to represent Chinese Medicine as an advisor or policy maker for some international non-profit connected to the World Health Organization for example. 2. I love and am expert at composing Chinese Herbal Medicine formulas for individuals based on 2000-year-old theory and texts. 3. I love consulting business owners, ideally those who are in natural healthcare or other professions that are ethical and have as close to neutral or ideally a positive impact on the planet. Skills I’m most interested in performing in this new career: 1. Working with numbers and statistics, computing and planning based on the data 2. Persuading, selling, educating, recruiting 3. Solving problems 4. Getting follow through on things from team members, getting things done, expediting actions that further the goals of the organization. Thanks in advance!

How do I get people to help me with my nonprofit?

I recently started a global youth-led nonprofit called Project Pulse, (@theogprojectpulse on TikTok and Instagram), which focuses on helping underserved communities across the globe gain access to healthcare by connecting them with licensed medical professionals. Right now, I’m facing a challenge: I don’t have medical professionals willing to partner with us. Beyond cold emailing (which often doesn’t get responses), what are effective strategies I could use to connect with doctors or healthcare providers who might want to get involved? Also, if you know of any medical professionals who may be open to volunteering their expertise, or if you’d like to help me grow this organization in other ways, I’d love your advice and support!

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

I'm a high school student passionate about improving access to healthcare, especially for those who lack basic necessities. I'm considering starting a non-profit that creates and distributes care kits containing essential items like period pads, heating pads, Tylenol, and similar products. 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. I want to find a way to make a real impact while taking a slightly different, more creative or underserved approach. What are some meaningful alternatives I could explore that still support healthcare access but stand out a bit more?

Domestic Violence and Homelessness "gaps" OR organization ideas in Florida (and later global)?

Hello, my name is Sanvhi and I am currently a student, more specifically a freshman in high school! As I have began looking towards my future and career, I realized that both architecture and business (hospitality) were ones I have always been interested in. I have been an active role in my schools SGA so far, and also have taken an architectural engineering class at my school which taught me the basics of a lot. Aside from this, I have always been an advocate for the arts like Theatre as well as marketing, as I combined the two and now co founded a YouTube series to market the arts at my school!! I have a lot of interests, but one that I have always wanted to do is start a project/nonprofit/initiative for domestic violence and homelessness. I am located in Florida, and not sure what to do to help. Eventually, if I can, I was to bring this to more locations than Florida. In the past I have had ideas about having a home security device that would be built into walls, some sort of new architectural material for building houses for those in need, and just fundraising. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!
