Should I join my local youth committee?
I am a rising sophomore, and am wondering whether I should join my local youth committee that manages activities. Does it actually help with college applications if I want to go into pre-med?
Which Career Path, Major, & Industry Should I Go Into?
Hello! I’m a high school student preparing to apply to college very soon. I’ve spent the past four years fully immersed in business and marketing—I’ve worked as a marketing intern, served as a state officer for Business Professionals of America, and received multiple awards in the field. I would also say I have a talent for it as I am very creative and business minded. However, recently I’ve experienced a shift. I’ve been deeply drawn to advocacy—especially in supporting underserved communities, advancing youth education globally, and championing women’s rights and access to resources. It feels like this is what I’m truly meant to do, and I want to take that passion to a professional level. I’ve started looking into careers in law, policy, and even advocacy-focused marketing, but I’m still uncertain about the right direction to pursue in college. As someone who’s navigating this transition, I’d be so grateful for any advice you could offer—whether on combining these interests or exploring pathways that align with my purpose.
How would I go about opening an orphanage by the time I turn 18?
Background info: I was adopted when I was 5 (Now I am 15). I always knew my purpose in life was to help I just never knew how. As I was praying for God to reveal to me his purpose for my life over the next few months the only thought in my mind was helping children/ teens who don't have homes or who are all alone and going through so many things. I really want to do this but the Lord says faith without works is dead so I want to move in whatever way I can to set the vision and complete it any information is very helpful Thank You
Does anyone know any places where I can intern to work with at risk youth?
I use to want to be a police officer and make my way up to detective but after graduating college, I decided that it wasn't what I wanted anymore. However, I do want to work with at risk youth but I still have mixed feelings and I am not sure where I can intern or even begin to explore this option to see if it is what I really want to do. There are places that I have applied too and have not heard back and I feel as if I am running out of options and places to look. If anyone has any ideas or guidance that they can give me, I would truly appreciate it because the only way to know if this is what I want to do for a career, is to try it out.
I've seen the We Need More ad on Youtube. How can I contribute to this cause?
I saw Verizon's Youtube ad for their #weneedmore campaign about providing more kids the resources needed to pursue science. As a student, how can I contribute? Link for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgao5EKVkSU #stem #women-in-stem #youth-leadership #youth-advocacy #science
What type of degree would I need to be able to get the best job that would be avaliable for me in the works and job offers in STEM?
I am the type that will go for it all, if that means I can get the best possible. But with this sometimes having the best isn't the best for you, like I could have a Ph.D in something and then have someone tell me "You didn't need that to hold a job for you here." And I don't want to do that if I don't need too. #business #future-careers #education-professions #women-in-leadership #youth-leadership
