  • Gain experience for your résumé
  • Develop contacts in your field of interest

How To Get Involved?

If you need assistance deciding what type of volunteer position is right for you, book an appointment with a Career Consultant. Once you have determined what type of position would be right for you based on your interests and skills set, there are a number of resources to help you find an ideal opportunity.
