Career questions tagged volunteering-opportunities
I would like to complete a research project, but I do not know where to start. How should I go about doing this?
I know that I want to do this project in neuroscience. I would love to one day enter the Regeron STS. I recently started studying on my own about the brain, but there are so many things I need to learn and understand, so a mentor or internship where I will learn and perform lab experiments with an adult who will help me would be most beneficial. I understand that independent research is meant to be done on my own, but everyone learns from other people's work to create something new. I would like to do my research project beside scientists and resources from whom I can learn the most and find something new. Thank you.
Are there any free virtual volunteering opportunities related to listening and counseling?
I joined 7Cups volunteer (becoming a listener) program last month and I enjoyed it, but are there any other places where I can do similliar things? And also is it possible for students to volunteer on careervillage? Thank you!
Are there any volunteer opportunities for high school students (Northern Virginia area) under the age of 16, in hospitals, health centers, or physical therapy/sports med offices?
I have seen multiple volunteer opportunities in INOVA, but they are 16+. The only under 16 one I have seen is in Sentara but it is a little far. I am looking for opportunities in the Fairfax area, but maybe as far as Reston.
What volunteer activities would you recommend for students interested in your career?
