🔎Activity: Set Your Priorities (Exploratory only)

Setting your priorities will focus your search and help you to make decisions.    

Activity

What are important outcomes for your volunteer experience? Here are examples to consider: 

• Contribute to activities or groups that impact communities
• Make new friends and have fun
• Stretch yourself to try something new
• Increase your personal confidence
• Hone existing skills and build new skills to fill any competency gaps
• Make professional connections and references
• Explore a new job sector and gain relevant experience
• Develop an understanding of your potential

Take time to identify any other significant priorities not listed.  Think about how a volunteer opportunity might contribute to your academic coursework, a class project or a research problem you are working on.

You can make note of your answers and additional priorities in your Workbook.
