What could >>I<< do to help this girl out?

So... I'm in this community outreach organization and last week we went to a high school and talk to teens who constantly talk to their counselors. I met this 18 year old girl that told me her story... it deeply saddened me. This girl was brought over to the United States at the age of 5. She was here LEGALLY until 2005. So she's been illegal for 4 years now. She told me how it's hard for her because she can't find any good jobs and her college future isn't looking too good. She wants to be a nurse but she says that every time she tries to register for her nursing cles they tell her she needs to be eligible to work in the United States if she wants her career as a nurse. I truly feel bad for her because she had no choice in coming to the United States and now she has to deal with these obstacles that she has no fault for. When she was 5 no one asked her if she wanted to move to the United States and then be an illegal. Is there help for her? I really want to help her out because she's a kind hearted girl that has grown up here and has done nothing but good for her community. Every chance she gets she helps out at nursing homes, charity drives, and even help built a house this past December for a family who's home burnt down in October. She deserves a good future just like she helps others' future to be a better one. Do you guys know of any possible help for this girl?
