I'm Angelica, an intern at CareerVillage. I used my resources to research about careers in writing. Ever since I was a child, I loved to write but was always unsure about how I could turn that love into a career. Hopefully, this can help writers that are unsure about their path!
As the days get hotter and longer, many of us find ourselves with more time on our hands. This summer, consider giving some of that time to the various organizations that are in need of support. For more on these opportunities, check out the link
“The reason we can provide career advice to youth at such massive scale is that digital volunteering is accessible and flexible. Anyone can participate whether, as an individual, a company, in church groups, or in the field, and everywhere in between”
