Volunteer Experiences
Volunteering is a great way to help an organization or people within a community; however, it is also a great opportunity for students to explore career areas of interest. Volunteer experiences allow students to get involved with an organization and its services, helping them to identify characteristics of a job they find rewarding, so they can make strategic decisions about what they want from their career. Volunteer experiences can be an extended commitment or even a short commitment of only one day, allowing the student to get involved at a level that works with his or her demanding schedule. Below are some resources for finding volunteer experiences:
