High school is a great time to build your resume and explore careers through volunteering, internships, trainings, and jobs. There are numerous organizations/businesses that have established volunteer programs, internship programs, trainings, or other career learning opportunities. Each organization has there own deadlines and requirements for participation. Some experiences are paid a stipend, are competitive, and may require a long time committment. Many experiences are only one-time volunteer events.

The below opportunities are not sponsored by the West Linn-Wilsonville School district and are not monitored by the Internship Coordinator. If you end up participating in an community internship or volunteer program, please contact the Internship Coordinator prior your start date. It is possible it may qualify for High School credit and optional college credit.
