Want to get involved? Start by doing your homework.
Research the people and organizations working on your issues.
If you want to get involved, you have to act. Spend some time with a search engine, on Twitter, GOOD.is, and other online sources to find the organizations and people working on the issues you care about. Look for flyers on the bulletin board at your local co-op, coffee shop, community center, or college campus. Talk to your friends, neighbors and family—you might be surprised to learn about what they're doing.
Remember, no act is too small. Some people just need a ride to receive cancer treatment because they can't afford a taxi. Some kids need a little help after school to get up to reading level or to understand that one math problem that's holding them back. Someone in your neighborhood needs you.
Here are some websites to get you started.
Volunteering: Hands On Network, Look for a Meet Up, Get Involved
Voting and elections: Rock The Vote, League of Women Voters
Families and Children: Momsrising.org
LGTBQ issues: The Trevor Project
