Jump Start Your Healthcare Career By Volunteering
From a skill-building perspective, unpaid work can be just as valuable as paid work, especially if your volunteer efforts help you develop essential soft skills like communication, teamwork and taking initiative.
“Volunteer work speaks volumes to potential employers, and if it’s related to the degree you’re seeking, it can only help,” says Renee Beaupre White, director of career services at Green Mountain College. “It can also open doors within the organization for future internship and employment opportunities.”
Volunteer opportunities can pave the way for a fantastic career in healthcare by getting you essential hands-on experience. Check out these articles and see what kinds of rewarding volunteer opportunities interest you.

In my area no volunteers are granted hands on opportunities, in fact we aren't even allowed face-to-face duties in the facilities. We only give directions to areas asked. nNd you have to pay to become a volunteer...I didn't have the money to do so. No job = no money.

You also need to be careful with too much volunteer work. If your resume is volunteer heavy, some employers feel that if you give away your services, why should they pay?
