Volunteering 

Have you volunteered before? If not, there are so many benefits to volunteering! Not only can you build meaningful connections with folks who share your values but you can also highlight your contributions to your community in job and scholarship applications, giving you a competitive edge over other applicants! Volunteering is also a great way to gain marketable transferable skills and build your resume to help secure paid employment in the future.
