Employers are looking for people who have experience, but how do I gain experience without a job?

The importance of volunteering:

• Adds experience to your résumé
• Provides opportunities to network with professionals and builds positive references
• Strengthens your ability to compete with individuals that have work experience
• Helps you to explore career possibilities by testing out a career field
• Helps build new skills; allows you to earn academic credits or community service hours
• Looks excellent on college applications

Make a difference in your community. Volunteering opens doors to your future. View volunteering opportunities in the City of Irvine here.
