Consider volunteering as a way to explore your interests, build your resume, and connect with the community!

Volunteering in the Classroom

A great way to gain experience is by volunteering in the classroom. This can be done by simply calling a school (try to choose one that is near where you live) and letting them know how you would like to get involved. If you have a specific age or area you'd like to volunteer with more, let them know and they can get you started. It's that easy!
