Volunteering is a great way to gain skills, find out more about a particular area of work or just give something back to the community.  Volunteering can help you develop in lots of ways:

• Help with your personal development
• Give you the skills to get into an area of work you would like to pursue
• Increase your confidence and meet new people
• Explore an occupation you are interested in
• Develop a connection to provide a reference
• Enhance your CV

Details of local and overseas volunteering opportunities can be found on the YSJ website or the Students' Union website.
