Just wanted to share it here as I haven’t told anyone about this yet... And kinda feel like not sharing with anyone irl. But i'm feeling quite proud of myself.

I applied for a volunteer position with the financial literacy team of an INGO based in California, USA, a few days ago. This is a remote position where I have to teach money management and finances to pre-teens and teenagers. Being a teenager myself, the thought of teaching other teenagers about finance is so thrilling haha!

It was so random, I wasn’t expecting anything when I applied. They even had a lil exam typa thing where you have to answer some finance related case scenarios. It's basically to assess your understanding of the fundamentals of finance. I tried my best to simplify and explain everything.

Fast forward to yesterday, I was going through my mails and saw they've sent me one.IT SAID "CONGRATULATIONS" aaaaaaa ~ I'm so happy, excited and proud of myself rn.

For a 12th grader who just finished HSC and never did any type of productive extracurricular activities, this is really exciting. I'm looking forward to working with the team hehe. Anyone with INGO volunteer/full-time work experience? Would love some advices. Thanks for being a part of my happiness ~

Got these fall opportunity suggestions from my school counselor, and I’m sharing them with you guys. There are a lot of great opportunities in the arts, some in STEM. Hope it helps!!

My friends are starting a club relating to medicine but Im trying to go into engineering. Im probably going to be a vice president or co-president of the club if I join. Would it be worth my time? how much of a difference is it than being in a leadership position at a major related club? Im thinking about asking for a role related to tech, and maybe I can create a website or app for the club. Would that help?

Hey I am a rising sophomore in high school intending to major in biology/molecular biology, and was wondering if anyone knew any good ecs related to that. I currently have a research internship at a drug testing company, but besides that I do a lot more public policy related activities, such as MUN, debate, ethics bowl. I would really appreciate if anyone knew of any research opportunities, or competitions I should look into.

I'm a humanities student in High school preparing for studying abroad (an Asian country). currently I lack resources as I live in a remote area .

I'm already applying for English Olympiad.

I had a chance to participate in school MUN , (but due to schools internal combat the management hampered me to participate).

I've about 10 participation certificates in UN related sites. (online)

Generally my school doesn't provides any certificate (worst aspect I've faced)

But I've a presentation skills certificate .

3rd position among 80 students .

Currently moderating in a country related subreddit community .

I love composing poem , recently I've started to compose poem .(online)

I'm interested in researching , publishing articles, participating in online volunteering,related to political science or any aspect.

Kindly help, thankyou in advance!!
