Volunteering opportunities to get started in PM?

Hi Elphas! 😊

I'm looking for volunteering opportunities for PM to gain knowledge and skills (my goal is to pivot into PM). My background is in corporate finance and I know the transition is super hard, so I would love to know how I can find internships/volunteering PM opportunities.

I'm potentially starting my MBA this fall and would love to fill my time the next few months with developing product skills. Any thoughts or resources are highly appreciated!

*more about me: I'm learning SQL and Python atm and taking some PM classes online.

Since the role of a Product Manager is leading cross functional teams, I would suggest to look into leadership and collaboration building skills/lessons as well as the technical understanding of the product development cycle.
