Are you looking for something to do to help you community or the world at large? Here are a couple of ideas and ways to get started:
Mr. Vande Loo has put together an extensive list of contact information of local volunteer opportunities. Check it out on the SCCS website!
Amnesty International focuses on human rights and political detentions. If human rights are important to you, look at this website to see what opportunities there are to become involved.
PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, focus on animal rights. If treating animals in a humane and responsible way is something you believe in, see what you can do to contribute to their mission.
Locally, contact VEDA if you are interested in working with animals.
Greenpeace “exists because this fragile Earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.” If you are interested in the environment this is a great organization to support!
For more volunteer ideas, check out the Idealist website.
And, come to the library to check out a book from our display on community service! From leaders like Gandhi and President Carter, to fiction books about helping the environment, we have something to interest and inspire you!
