Volunteerism

Our new president has me thinking about volunteering.

I know I'll have to be kinda picky or else I won't have fun and I won't stick with it. What follows is just the beginning of my considerations:

What I don’t want to do:

Volunteer for my employer
Sort (or do anything with) children’s clothes
Dispense juice and cookies to blood donors
Cold call anyone
Go door to door

What I want

I want to do something fun, or something mundane with fun people
I want it to feel meaningful
I don’t want to get stressed out in that ‘bad stress’ way

Bonus:

I can use and improve my professional skills along the way

Charities or Non-profits I’m Interested In

Northwest Harvest
ACLU
Democratic Party
Planned Parenthood
