Volunteering allows you to explore career options and develop new skills while helping others and getting involved in your community. Being a volunteer is a great way to make new friends and establish important contacts that can help you find a paying job or references for a future opportunity.
How to choose a volunteer opportunity
- Think about the kinds of things that you like to do, the skills (interpersonal, planning, leadership, etc.) that you have to offer and skills that you would like to develop.
- Think about how much time you are willing to commit. How long are you willing to volunteer (a week? a month? six months?), and how many hours per week can you volunteer?
- Ask friends, relatives, teachers and/or your school counselor to help you find an organization that can provide you with the experiences that you desire and utilize what you have to offer.
