Career CLUSTER SPOTLIGHT
The primary work of careers in the health science cluster is to treat patients facing illness or injury—whether to cure or rehabilitate from a condition, to maintain wellness, or to provide comfort or palliative care to persons dealing with incurable conditions.
The health care industry is booming, and experts predict health care careers will continue to grow rapidly for at least the next decade.

More ideas..."POLITICS, CIVICS, GLOBAL"
You don’t have to go far from home to help people in need overseas. Raise money for organizations that help children around the world. Many young volunteers collect items like books, shoes and clothes for people living in poverty overseas. Or, if you can, consider going abroad to help with building schools or disaster recovery.
Here are some websites to get you started:
UNICEF - Rotary International - Doctors Without Borders - PoliticalCampaigns - E.L. Election Days - AmeriCorps - E.L. AGRICULTURAL COMMISSION - E.L. PLANNING COMMISSION - E.L. TRAILS COMMISSION
Town of East Longmeadow Boards & Commissions
Board of Health, Broadband Committee, Community Preservation, Conservation Commission, Historical Commission, Housing Authority, Local Emergency Planning, Planning Board, Public Works, Recreation Commission, Registrars of Voters, Zoning Board of Appeals
Here are some student led projects:
Praneeth created an all-in-one software product for a nonprofit benefiting rural villages in India, improving its ability to collect and manage donations, publicize projects and track income and expenditures.
Cierra has collected donated toothbrushes, toothpaste and packages of dental floss for impoverished families in underdeveloped Asia-Pacific countries through a campaign called “Spreading Smiles Across Miles.”
Christian has raised more than $50,000 from a landscape business he started as a seventh-grader and from private donations to build houses for destitute people in Haiti and sponsor 20 homeless children there.
Jessica is a dedicated advocate for young sex-trafficking victims around the world, and last year led a team to Costa Rica to provide girls at a safe house with the skills to build a life beyond prostitution.
