Volunteer Opportunities In Your Quest for Random Acts of Kindness! The Volunteer Guide directory makes it possible for busy people like you to volunteer and make a difference at anytime, from anywhere. Even if you have an unpredictable schedule, you can volunteer for your favorite cause, including: animal welfare, children’s issues, community development, environmental protection, healthcare, and overcoming poverty. The volunteer opportunities featured at VolunteerGuide.org can be successfully completed: in 15 minutes, in a few hours (once, or each week), or during volunteer vacations. The VolunteerGuide.org directory is a free service of Charity Guide, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting flexible volunteerism, by inspiring and facilitating acts of kindness. Volunteer Guide understands that you’re unable to commit to any volunteer
activity that requires a specific time commitment – which is characteristic of most traditional volunteer opportunities. We understand that there is enormous, untapped kindness available from wellmeaning, “would-be volunteers” like you, who yearn for greater fulfillment through helping others. As a result, Volunteer Guide pioneered a revolutionary approach to volunteering: We help you “Volunteer On Demand”. Volunteer Guide presents service project opportunities that are entirely flexible and immediately actionable. You can volunteer whenever you want, even now, from wherever you want, in as few as 15 minutes. Best of all, every service project featured at Volunteer Guide includes step-by-step “How to Make a Difference” instructions. So, whenever you’re ready to volunteer, you can accomplish the service project as quickly as possible.
An act of kindness, no matter how small, is never forgotten. Thank you for your interest in making a difference! Be sure and check out page 3B for more about this wonderful week of giving oneself.
