Are There Other Options?

Choose to Volunteer

What are you passionate about? Is there something that would be your dream job? Reach out to an organization that interests you and see what volunteer opportunities they offer. Sometimes volunteer positions lead to full-time jobs. And some volunteer programs provide a stipend or other living assistance, or even student loan repayment assistance. If not, chances are the experience will be very rewarding and you’ll develop new skills. Here are some organizations to consider:

• AmeriCorps
• Peace Corps
• Teach for America
• WorldTeach
• The Student Conservation Association
• City Year
• Match Corps
