Volunteer opportunities provide support to programs and services that directly serve the community and others for free. Through volunteerism, students develop their leadership skills, learn to work with others, increase their engagement in the community, explore various work activities, and build a strong work ethic. These experiences help young people gain essential professional skills early in life, which translates to future success in the workplace. Depending on the nature of the project or task, volunteer opportunities can take place in-person or remotely.
