Overview
Volunteering is an excellent way to build your skill set and at the same time give back to the community. Volunteering can help you with interpersonal and communication skills, motivating others, and dealing with difficult situations. Likewise, it can help you gain more specific knowledge in a subject area you are interested in. See below for some of the ways you can volunteer.
Brandeis Community Service
Department of Community Service organizes volunteering opportunities in the greater Boston area. You can learn more about different organizations at annual Volunteer Fairs.
International
Volunteering abroad is a great way to expose yourself to other cultures and develop the skills mentioned above. See our international pages for a directory of opportunities.
