06 Volunteer Over The Summer
Just lazing the day away during the summer might sound (and be) nice, but if you intend to go to college, you should work toward making your college application look more appealing than your competitors'. You can do this by volunteering for a community organization.
Many students' excuses range from "they can't find volunteer opportunities" to "they don't know how to volunteer". Rest assured, the organizations you'll be working with will be glad to have your help. Many high schools even post volunteer opportunities on campus. Check news bulletins and boards in the office for such opportunities.
You can also find volunteer opportunities by visiting:
http://www.servenet.org
http://volunteermatch.org
These sites allow you to search for volunteer opportunities of interest to you close to where you live.
You'd be surprised. There are plenty of organizations and companies out there that would absolutely love to have your helping hand. All you need to do is apply. The added bonus is that doing volunteer work on your own time shows dedication, commitment, and empathy for the cause of others. Plus, you'll start up a good networking base that could lead to potential employment later on.
College administrators love to admit students that care about their community, can balance their schedules, and work well with others. Add these excellent qualities to your resume by putting in some time with a volunteer organization.
