Hannah Card is a dedicated young woman who pursues her passions unapologetically. She's a kind, compassionate, and driven leader who is dedicated to helping the people around her while recognizing the importance of taking care of herself.
Hannah’s proudest accomplishment by far is creating a mental health club at her school under the umbrella of an organization called Work2BeWell, with whom she is also a National Student Advisory Council member. She helped found and implement the club during her sophomore year, served as the president in her junior year, and will continue to do so for her senior year. This club has allowed her to pursue her immense passion for mental health awareness and inspire others to do the same.
Hannah serves as the President of her school’s National Honor Society chapter and the Vice President of Key Club. She mentors a student at a local middle school, manages her school’s field hockey team, and volunteers with Cancer Kids First which creates cards and care packages for young cancer patients. She also volunteers with Hey Sam, a peer-to-peer youth helpline.
Hannah’s life mission is to help break the stigma surrounding mental illness and reinforce the importance of talking about mental health. Hannah is motivated by her amazing teachers, and says, “They have supported me through everything I have set out to accomplish…They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, which only pushed me to keep reaching for the stars. I wouldn’t be here without their amazing, unconditional support.”
