When applying for colleges, universities, and careers, volunteer positions are a great way to build experience and your resume. LGBTI companies and organizations often offer volunteer positions to undergraduates, professionals, and people looking to make a difference in the LGBTI community. Many places allow their volunteers to work hands on with the organizations main objectives and become part of the team. Important figures in human rights fields have started out as volunteers who found their calling and made a difference helping others. The first steps to finding those opportunities is here on this site, and here is a list of organizations that are open to volunteers like you.
The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest LGBTI rights organization that offers support to members of the community whether at work or in society. It has a large network of members that makes it a great place to network and meet others with the same civil rights passions as them. They have several branches that work with schools or family programs or legal issues and many more. Its main office is in Washington, D.C., but they welcome volunteers from all over to help support LGBTI individuals in their communities.
