The resurgence of the Exploring Program throughout Central Indiana is happening at the right time. The opportunities provided through Exploring are a great way for students to connect to the career pathways that are now part of their graduation requirements.

As my junior year of high school came to a close, I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do for a career. That’s when I was introduced to the Exploring Program and I was able to join the post at Riverview Hospital. My experiences confirmed that I want to become a nurse and now I’m off to Purdue’s School of Nursing.

I feel like she has learned so much, has a much larger understanding and appreciation of various fields. She has learned about fields she had no idea about. It has changed her focus on what she may want to do.

You can actually see young people grow, becoming members of the community as their curiosity is satisfied through Exploring. We attract sharp young people during their formative years.

Exploring is a great program that helped me associate the concepts I am learning in high school with practical uses in the real world.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her opportunity to participate in the Explorers Program at Hendricks Regional Health this past year. The timing of it was perfect. Going into her junior year of high school she knew that she was interested in the medical field for a career, and her experience with Explorers was an excellent program to help her settle into that decision. She came home every month excited about all that she got to see and learn. Now in her senior year we both have a better idea concerning colleges and future degrees for her, hopefully resulting in a future Doctor of Physical Therapy.
