Service Learning/Volunteer Work
Volunteering is an effective and ideal way to gain work experience, begin exploring career paths, enhance your skill set, build relationships with professionals in your field of interest, and create positive change.
Volunteer work demonstrates that you value contributing to something larger than yourself, possess strong time management skills, act as a team player, and are proactive in expanding your skill set.
Do you have work study? Are you interested in doing community service and earning work study money while you do it? Contact Student Employment for more information.
