What are internships and volunteering?

Internships

An internship is short-term work that helps you learn specific job skills. Internships:

  • May be paid or unpaid
  • Usually lasts a few weeks or months
  • Often includes interviews and a contract
  • Open to everyone, including career changers and students

Volunteering

Volunteering means offering your time and skills for free. You choose when and how often to help. It is a flexible way to gain experience and support your community.

Why should I volunteer or intern?

Both opportunities can help you:

  • Gain U.S. work experience
  • Improve your skills and learn about new careers
  • Build confidence in a new environment
  • Meet people who can support your job search
  • Show future employers that you are motivated and ready to learn
