Volunteering

Volunteering, also known as community-engaged learning, can be helpful in exploring what types of careers you may enjoy. Plus, you get the fulfillment of knowing that you are giving back to your community in a meaningful way. What you may not realize is that you are also developing valuable, transferable career-related skills. It can boost your resume or job search. 

• Cornell's Einhorn Center for Community Engagement is a great resource for getting involved in service around the community.
• Find volunteering opportunities in the local community with their search tool. You can browse based on location, topic, time of year, and more.
• Participate in a service trip through Alternative Breaks.

When done right, community-engaged learning is a win for everyone involved. Communities see positive change on issues that matter most to them. And students get to learn hands on and develop collaborative leadership skills.
