Want to pump up your resume, learn new skills, hone existing ones, earn some money, or help people in need? Instead of sitting at home this summer, take charge of your free time and intern or volunteer. The experience will help you develop skills in leadership, problem-solving, and time management. Apply what you learned in the classroom to the real world.
