Volunteering

Through volunteering students gain real-world experience and practice important skills like leadership, problem-solving, and time management.

Volunteering offers students the opportunity to apply their classroom learning beyond the campus to practical areas such as social services, healthcare, and education.

It is imperative that before you apply, to any of the Internships, please have a Career Counselor at Career Services look at your resume. Also if you receive an internship let us know.
