Education and Training Requirements
High School
In high school, take as many college preparatory classes as possible. Courses in English and speech will help you communicate effectively with volunteers and coworkers. Computer science classes—especially those in database management—will help you learn how to use computers to manage information on volunteers and projects. Other useful classes include mathematics, psychology, business, and marketing.
