Call to Action
National Volunteer Week, 4/27-5/3
Get ready for National Volunteer Week 2008, coming on April 27-May 3. It's an incredible opportunity to help animals, nurture kids, protect the environment, create livable cities -- whatever! -- by working alongside the nonprofit organizations that are most active on these issues.

You won't be alone. At VolunteerMatch.org, an estimated 250,000 visitors will log on during the annual celebration.

"National Volunteer Week is a terrific opportunity to harness the growing, nationwide surge in volunteerism," said Greg Baldwin, president of VolunteerMatch. "It’s a chance for individuals to reach out and discover fun and meaningful volunteer activities in their own neighborhoods."
