Hi! I am very interested in history, and I was wondering if there was any sort of things I could become involved in/ certification type things I can use to demonstrate this to colleges and employment outside of school at some point in the future? Thanks!
You want to demonstrate an aptitude and interest rather than knowledge per se.
Is there a local historical society in your area? A historical site you could volunteer at?
not sure, i’ll look into it, thanks
This is a little off-beat but my daughter has volunteered as a costumed interpreter (wearing period dress) for a local historical site from Colonial days. It is a lot of fun, too.
Look into historical re-enactments.
Check if there is a local historical society or museum you could get involved with.
Take history SAT subject tests (note: not all are offered on every testing date, so you have to watch out for that).
Organizations like scouting or 4H might encourage projects in the area of local history.
