Community Service
Making a Difference through Community Engagement
The key to your dream job does not just depend on advancing your academic knowledge and interning opportunities, but in gaining memorable experiences that give you a competitive advantage. Through community service, you can distinguish your resume experience and make a positive impact in your community. ASUCR and the Career Center understand how important this is and have partnered to assist you in finding the right volunteer position.
