Find Your Passion Through Volunteering

Thursday February 19, 2009

Volunteering isn't just for goody-two-shoes types. It's a way to find out what you're really interested in and do some good int the process.

Some Seattle teens are putting a new spin on their local chapter of the Audubon Society, a nonprofit organization that's dedicated to helping and appreciating wildlife, especially birds. You can do something similar in your community -- or something completely different, whether it's helping kids learn to read, organizing a tree-planting program, or spending time with the residents of a nursing home.
