Excellent way to add experience to your resume or your grad/vet/med/law school application. In the current job market, employers look specifically for recent grads with internship or volunteer experience. According to a Corporation for National and Community Service report, "applicants with volunteer experience are 27% more likely to find a job than applicants who do not volunteer". And for post graduate applications, service is quintessential to completing essays questions and filling out applications that show you were involved in your community.

Getting involved in your community helps you unlock new passions you've never experienced before, or can reinforce those that you have. Gain a better understanding of the world you live in, collect invaluable experience for post graduation, all while giving back to your community!
