Voluntary Work
Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, try new things and to improve your confidence and self-esteem. You'll also get to meet new people, have fun and learn new skills. You can follow your interests and test your career ideas, and it gives you an opportunity to get involved in your community and make a difference!
It's something you can do in your spare time but you can also volunteer full-time after leaving school, provided you are also undertaking some part-time study or training.
