    Does Summer Volunteer Work Look Good on Your College Transcript?

    Volunteering for the summer is a great way to help around your community while also giving yourself a leg up for your academic future. Volunteer work of all kinds looks awesome on a college transcript because, depending on the work involved, it makes you look engaged, focused, involved, and compassionate. It shows that you can put in effort for others while working hard to give something back to your surroundings, which college admissions will love, and future employers will find to be admirable qualities. 

    It’s never too early to plan for your college education. Which means that, even if you’re too young to work a full-time job, you can still use volunteering as a competitive edge toward your college application. Most volunteer opportunities accept volunteers as young as 14, so get out there and get involved for the sake of your community as well as for the future of your education.
