Thinking about a future in nursing? đź©ş We have a program designed to help high school students take the next step!

CHARGE for High School students was developed for high school juniors and seniors interested in a nursing career. The CHARGE program is an applicant-based program that allows students to receive additional opportunities based around achieving their goals of a career in nursing. Opportunities, such as job shadowing, study skills, care skills practice, and introductions to the various careers within the nursing field are given to all who are accepted into the program. Additionally, CHARGE for High School students helps strengthen a student’s application for college or vocational nursing programs and assists all students in the decision-making process regarding what career paths within the nursing field they have accessible to them. All students who complete the program will have the option to receive ACT prep through the Princeton Review.

Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year are now OPEN! Applications will close September 15, 2025.

Exciting news! One of our Northeast AHEC PAVE (Pathways by AHEC using VR Education) participants, Landon Thompson, was recently highlighted in a National AHEC Organization press release.

We're proud to see our students' voices recognized on a national stage, and even more proud of the passion they bring to exploring future careers in health.

“PAVE gave me hands-on skills like maintaining sterile environments, using PPE, and interacting with patients professionally,” Landon said. “Shadowing exceptional surgeons and completing online lessons helped me figure out the path that’s right for me. I’m deeply grateful to PAVE and AHEC for these extraordinary opportunities.”
