Volunteering

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

In the previous posts, we focused on people creating social change around the world. We also focused on how you can create a student group, or a non-profit organization. If you look around you, you will see that there are things in your community which needs attention. The United States is thought to be one of the most influential nations in the world. However, citizens of this great nation are starving, homeless, and are struggling to make ends meet. We need to work a little harder and try to make a difference. You do not have to start an organization on your own, but you can search and look for an established organization that address the issues that you care about.

I have come across a lot of sites, calling for Americans help Americans. The Ad Council had created ads to mobilize Americans in the spirit of giving. On the site there is a list of things that you may want to consider to create change around you. The Advertising Council is a non-profit organization which “produces, distributes and promotes thousands of public service campaigns on behalf of non-profit organizations and government agencies in issue areas such as improving the quality of life for children, preventative health, education, community well being, environmental preservation and strengthening families.” The Ad Council launched the Don’t Almost Give. Give.” campaign in 2006.


In the previous posts we discussed how you can receive funds. Do not forget though those same sites can also let you help you to make donations or give loans to those who need it. There are a group of sites that ask for volunteers. Others ask your donations, whether it is money, canned goods, or used clothes. There are a group of sites that ask for volunteers. These sites include:

There are scores of other sites that I can list; but, I think though these sites you will find a handful of things that you can do to change the world, or just your community. So, happy searching!

To those of you, who already volunteer; share your experience with us. This way we can learn from each other, and see how we can create social changes in different ways.
