Why Start a Chapter

Make the path to medicine more accessible.

Starting a chapter is a chance to make a real difference for high school students pursuing medicine, especially those without access to strong mentorship. As a chapter leader, you'll expand educational opportunity, build a service-driven community on your campus, and become part of our national mission.

Expand opportunity

Give younger students the guidance many premeds never had.

Build community

Bring together premeds on your campus around service.

Lead and grow

Gain real experience in leadership, outreach, and nonprofit development.

What Your Chapter Will Do

Mentor, teach, and serve.

  • Provide tutoring and academic support for students interested in premed pathways
  • Organize mentorship between college students and younger aspiring premeds
  • Host chapter meetings focused on planning, service, and growth
  • Lead outreach to schools and communities that would benefit from NGPM
  • Run workshops, panels, and info sessions with premeds, medical students, or physicians
  • Take part in philanthropy and service initiatives each semester
  • Promote NGPM's mission on campus and in your surrounding community
