Voluntary Work

Why do it?

Lots of reasons..

• Meeting new people and doing something positive in your spare time

• A chance to find out if you are suited to a type of work

• Taking a year out before going on to university

• Making a difference - you might have a strong commitment to a special cause - like environmental issues, conservation or helping people

• Getting valuable work experience needed for some types of careers - like teaching, veterinary science, medicine, police force, health care occupations etc
