Picture
Universities and scholarship committees seek students who give back to their community. In addition to the top ten reasons to volunteer (see tab) volunteering gives you experience to add to your resume. I invite you to contact local organizations for volunteer opportunities (see below). 

  • Contact local non profits (Boys and Girls Club, Think Together) and ask if you can volunteer during the summers or click here for more locations.
  • Your local Public library
  • Contact your previous elementary and middle school teachers and ask if they need assistance with tutoring or over the summer
  • Talk to a resource staff member at your church and see if you can donate your time in events, or during service
  • During the holiday season, several opportunities arise (see the links_
  • Organize a canned food drive or hygiene drive to support a local non profit





Tracking Hours:
Make sure to track your hours. Carry your document with you and log in your hours. The more organized you can be about your hours, the better! See sample below. Feel free to use this one but remove the high school name. :)
