Interships & Volunteering

Internships and volunteer positions are a great way to learn about possible interests or careers, especially if you’re not sure what you want to do.

While there are some paid internships out there, many or most are unpaid, so they’re quite similar to volunteer positions. Both internships and volunteer positions can offer invaluable experiences, giving you work experience and first-hand exposure to an industry or field of interest.
