Although this topic does not relate directly with information design, I thought I’d pass along a great website that makes volunteering even easier (in the spirit of New Year). The website is: HandsOn Twin Cities.
I have really enjoyed using their website because it makes finding, participating and tracking volunteer opportunities very simple. You can spend your time volunteering, not searching for opportunities and correct contacts.
Unfortunately, the website only covers the Twin Cities Metro Area. If you are located in another area, you may want to check out the website serve.gov. It provides a listing of volunteer opportunities across the country.
