Volunteer Experience Volunteer Experience can provide students with unpaid work experience in a chosen field. Not only is volunteering an excellent way to gain experience but it looks great on a resume. It shows that you are willing to do what it takes, even working for free, to gain the experience needed to further yourself professionally. Volunteer experience has no formal requirements. However, it is an excellent way to learn about a career field as well as give back to the community.
Some volunteer work is done to fulfill class requirements.
