Volunteer opportunities
Volunteering is not only an excellent way to test the waters in any field of interest, but can also open doors to potential internship and job opportunities. Your involvement in the community will lead to contacts and mentoring relationships that will help you explore career options and discover opportunities. Finally, volunteering will enable you to gain experience, develop and strengthen a variety of skills, and will also help you gain more information about the role(s) you would like to play in social change.
