Do you have any free time? Then have you considered volunteering?

Volunteering is a good opportunity to help you develop your skills and gain experience.  If you do voluntary work related to your career aims, it may help you to get into paid employment.  As well as employers, universities will also look favourably at this and Connexions can help you to find these opportunities.

Examples of things you could do: work in a charity shop or at a National Trust Site.

To find an opportunity visit our jobs pages which include volunteering vacancies or call into a Connexions centre.  Alternatively you could visit aylesburyyouthaction.co.uk or vinspired.com or do-it.org.uk
