What are my work options?

WORK

Here are several options for getting “work” experience this summer.


What are my serve options?

SERVE

Serving others is a great way to develop skills and relationships. The skills you use communicating with people in need translate into other workplaces. And the trust you build with someone in need of help will be an asset in your next job. Serving others is a part of the Wake Forest culture – Pro Humanitate.
