Executive MomorandumThe Season of Giving Back12/19/2008As the holidays are just days away, our spinning world has given us new pause to consider this time of year as a season of giving... Resources for Giving BackIn the spirit of our new blog post, should you be inspired to get out and do something individually or as a family, even on a one-time-only basis, there are some great resources that aggregate volunteer opportunities and make them searchable on a number of criteria, such as geography, timing, and type of activity. Two leading resources likened to a "Craigslist for Service" are: VolunteerMatch: looks to
bring good people and good causes together, with a broad variety of online
services to support a community of nonprofit, volunteer and business leaders
committed to civic engagement. Their website attracts millions of visitors
a year with service opportunities across 61,000 nonprofit organizations.
www.volunteermatch.org Idealist: a project of Action Without Borders, is an interactive site where people and organizations can exchange resources and ideas, locate opportunities and supporters, and "take steps toward building a world where all people can lead free and dignified lives." Currently you can find over 82,000 worthy organizations and 14,000 active volunteer opportunities through them. We have a special affinity for this organization since their Executive Director, Ami Dar, spoke at a past Executive Moms event. www.idealist.orgWhat Else is Happening on ExecutiveMoms.com...Excerpts of some recent posts on the Executive Moms Network:
