        • Enhance your portfolio or resume as evidence of your initiative and impact
    5. Next Steps:
      • Once your first submission is received, it will be reviewed and curated.
      • After reviewing your submission, you’ll have the option to officially join CureCorps and continue contributing to StoryBridge regularly.
