Hello guys. I’m going to be a freshman in a couple of weeks and I have a question about volunteering.

I want to apply to several volunteer positions at hospitals and volunteer during the fall semester. Almost all of these applications require some form of recommendation from a professional. My question is who can I ask?

Do I head back to my high school and ask one of my teachers (assuming they are even available)?
Can I ask a professor to sign it within only weeks of getting to know him/her?
Are there college offices that help with this kind of thing?

So I was wondering, how do other freshman get this done?

Thanks!
