Do you know how to join a non profit organization?

Question

I really want to help out and volunteer at an organization something like pregnant teens or a womans crises center. I started to volunteer at a childrens home once but i have my own kids and i think it would be hard for me to handle mentally. i really feel like helping battered woman or pregnant teens would suit me better. those are things i feel strongly about and feel i can definitly handle. I just dont know how to get started or where to look. any suggestions?

Answer 1

Many large urban centres have local volunteer organizations ( i.e. they organize volunteers). You can try your yellow pages under volunteer or charitable organizations or you can do an Internet search for charitable organizations in your area.

A local volunteer organization can help you direct your energy into the most suitable placement. Some situations can be way too stressful. You don't have to be working directly with the users of services to make a meaningful contribution. Any skill that you have would be welcomed somewhere.

Answer 2

Call the local rape crisis center - there is great need for any emotional support. And, if there is not such a place in the phone book, the local police will tell you where victims are taken so you can lend a hand.

This is really nice of you to volunteer. I spend a few hours a week in the neighborhood retirement center/nursing home. that's pretty fulfilling.
