Community Outreach Volunteer Event

Calling All Nursing Volunteers! 📣&nbsp; Nursing students and licensed nurses are invited to join NAHN-IL for a meaningful community outreach opportunity during Health Care Career Week at J. Sterling Morton West High School. If you&rsquo;re looking to give back, get involved, and connect with students who are exploring a future in nursing, we welcome you to volunteer with us. &nbsp; &nbsp;This event will serve as a kickoff experience for students interested in healthcare and nursing pathways. Volunteers will engage with students throughout three lunch periods between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The format is designed to be flexible and interactive, allowing for short presentations, panel-style discussions, and open Q&amp;A with students. Presentations do not need to fill the entire lunch period&mdash;time may be left open for discussion, connection, and informal conversations. &nbsp; &nbsp;By volunteering, you help inspire the next generation of nurses. Sharing your story, answering questions, and simply being visible in your role can open doors for students who may not otherwise see themselves represented in healthcare. Your involvement supports early career exploration, mentorship, and stronger pathways into nursing for our community&rsquo;s youth. &nbsp; &nbsp;Volunteers may participate in one or more lunch-hour sessions and will be supported in coordinating the flow of presentations or panel discussions. No formal or lengthy presentation is required&mdash;just a willingness to share your experiences, engage with students, and support their curiosity about nursing education and healthcare careers. &nbsp; &nbsp;This is a one-day volunteer opportunity, and advance registration is requested so we can plan accordingly. Whether you are a nursing student or a seasoned professional, your voice and experience are valued. &nbsp; Event Details📅 Date: Monday, March 16, 2026⏰ Time: 11:00 AM &ndash; 2:00 PM📍 Location: J.
