Local Action
There are many ways to take action in your community. At NextGen Med we think fundraising, donation drives, and volunteering are great and easy ways to get started.
Fundraise
Donation Drives
Volunteering in Labs & Hospitals
Make a difference by organizing fundraisers for causes you care about. Whether it’s hosting a bake sale, planning a talent show, or creating an online crowdfunding campaign, fundraising is a powerful way to support medical research and raise awareness. Your efforts can bring attention to underfunded diseases and directly contribute to finding solutions.
Organize donation drives to gather essential items like medical supplies, hygiene products, or funds for nonprofit organizations. These drives are an excellent way to rally your community to support hospitals, shelters, and individuals in need. You can also focus on specific causes, like assembling care packages for patients with rare diseases or delivering supplies to underserved clinics.
Explore hands-on opportunities by volunteering at local hospitals, clinics, or research labs. As a high school student, you can assist with administrative tasks, patient support, or community health events. Volunteering in these environments gives you a closer look at the medical field while directly supporting professionals working to improve lives.
