| GET INVOLVED
Getting your first paying job can be easier if you have some volunteer experience. Volunteer jobs offer a broad range of experiences that can be more meaningful than at the corner store.
A volunteer job can put you in touch with people outside of your normal experience, too. Work with the elderly at an adult day care center or help a non-profit plan a special event. There are many volunteer opportunities, but it is important to find one that matches your interests and fits into your school schedule.
Your guidance counselor or STEP-UP Coordinator can help you find the right opportunity.
Interested to see what types of volunteer jobs are out there?
Some volunteer jobs are limited to people who are over 18, but many are not. The Volunteer Center of Milwaukee keeps a large database of volunteer jobs. Take a look to get some ideas for now or in the future. |
