Take Action Round Up: February 9

Good morning friends!

Care2 has a lot of resources for those who are interested in learning more about any cause that ever existed and what you can do to help out those causes. Sign a petition, create a petition, get involved with an organization, receive updates about your interests, donate.

Use Service Nation's search engine to find volunteer opportunities in your area; they will search many of the larger volunteer posting sites and list them all for you in one place.

Become a PenPal through In2Books to a grade schooler who is learning how to read. Volunteers read the same books that their grade school counterparts are reading, then participate in online discussions with them about the important themes and ideas of the book. You will help them develop close reading and critical thinking skills.
