LIVE UNITED with United Way

United Way is building a movement across America that inspires hope and creates opportunities for a better life for everyone. This movement is called LIVE UNITED.

You can be a part of the movement. Go to http://www.liveunited.org and sign up to be a part of the community.

They are also welcoming you to create your own version of a LIVE UNITED video. They have provided:

  • Background music to select from
  • Ideas to consider for your video masterpiece
  • Guidelines to follow
  • A LIVE UNITED graphic for the end

When your video is ready for the world to see, just post it on YouTube and send LIVE UNITED the link. Get all of the details at http://www.liveunited.org/liveunitedcentral.

This would be a great opportunity to unleash the hidden videographer in you. Have fun and make a difference!

Discover Volunteer Opportunities at Idealist.org

Young people interacting within an ethnically diverse society.

At idealist.org, not only can you find potential volunteer opportunities but you can also be a part of a volunteer community.

Go to http://www.idealist.org and click on Find. You will then be able to discover the volunteer opportunities that are available to you. You will also be able to find and connect with other volunteers who share your interests.

Another feature at idealist.org is the ability to have emails sent to you when a new listing is added to their website that you might be interested in. I continually use this very useful feature for myself and others I help. Click on Email alerts at the top of the webpage and follow the instructions.
