Request-Connect With the Community of People With Disabilities
Task
Volunteering allows you to make new friends, have fun, help in your community and learn new skills which will help you transition to an eventual job and career. Service to one's community as well as the experience gained by volunteering often lead to lifelong careers. During your time as a volunteer it will be key for you to make regular entries into a journal which you can reference and share both personally and through the social media like Facebook and Twitter.
Your task will be to get inspired by the determination of others who face difficulties and challenges, find and use volunteer opportunities in your community to make career decisions, and help you discover your "mission" in life.
After viewing the videos below, select the green button marked process, you will learn the processes of letter and resume writing, and master the interview process. You will also be given choices of how you want to persue this Quest, either alone, with a partner, or in a group. It is a part of a journey, fun adventure. This process could lead to your first job. Good Luck!
