Include all of your accomplishments -- things you have done in school (sports, clubs, newsletters, etc.) as well as any volunteer work. Identify the skills you gained from each. Continue volunteering in a variety of organizations to gain more skills and experience.

A resume is a way to share your experiences, skills, jobs, and education with potential employers. Think of it as telling your story. Keep track of your internships, summer jobs, courses, and education. While you're in school, try to gain as much experience as possible. Different jobs and internships can show you what work is like. When you make your resume, show that you are active, curious, and eager to learn. Remember, a resume is a living document that you will update as you gain more experiences. Enjoy the process and good luck!

It’s amazing that you already know what you want to do, and that clarity is honestly the most important first step. Since you’re interested in business, you can start by getting involved in clubs or organizations in your school or local community that relate to leadership, entrepreneurship, or finance, because those experiences show initiative and curiosity.
One of the most helpful things early on is getting a part time job, especially with a small business, since it gives you real exposure to how operations work day to day. Even if the role seems simple, it builds practical experience in a low pressure environment and helps you develop responsibility, communication skills, and even save some money for college, which is a nice bonus.
If you want to go further, check out resources at your local library, since many offer free access to platforms like LinkedIn Learning where you can take business related courses and start building foundational knowledge.
When you’re just starting out, all of these experiences, whether it’s clubs, part time work, or online learning, are absolutely valid to include on your resume and can help you stand out when applying for your first internship. It’s great that you already have direction, and I’m wishing you the best as you get started.
