Volunteering Opportunities?


Im looking for different ways I can volunteer in my local community. I really am looking for religious free opportunities in my local area. I am in Fort Worth Texas and I am having a hard time finding something that is not affiliated with the church. Any direction would be great, thank you.

President’s Volunteer Service Award For Volunteering Abroad?


Is it possible for an organization conducting projects in nations like India, South Africa, Kenya, etc., to credit volunteers with the President’s Volunteer Service Award if these volunteers come from the States? I can guess that said organization would have to be affiliated with the awards in some capacity, so could someone tell me about the kinds of groups and organizations that do this?

So Why Is Scott Walker Against Unions In Wisconsin?


Public sector employee contracts are written by the union and rubber-stamped by Democrats — and the taxpayers only find out years later that public school teachers are allowed to get a full year’s pay for 30 days’ work over three years after they retire — as is the case in Green Bay, Wis., where one out of every 12 teachers retired this year to take advantage of the “emeritus” scam.
This is what all the commotion is about in Wisconsin. Republican Gov. Scott Walker isn’t even trying to eliminate collective bargaining for government workers’ salaries. He only wants to eliminate collective bargaining over their conditions of employment, which has led to massive inefficiencies.
Thanks to union grievance procedures, the union representing school crossing guards filed a formal complaint over a sweet old man volunteering to get the kids across the street in Wausau, Wis. Warren Eschenbach, an 86-year-old retiree, had been volunteering each morning as a crossing guard at a school near his home. But according to the union, only a highly paid government employee should be permitted to do that job.
Fifth-grader Megan Sichterman, told WAOW, an ABC affiliate, “I was really sad because all the kids really like him. He’s really nice to everybody, and I was kind of scared at the same time that we wouldn’t see him on the corner anymore.”
Even in the middle of the battle over collective bargaining rights for government unions, the snowplow operators’ union filed a grievance against Racine, Wis., to demand paid days off for snowplow operators … after a snowstorm.
After a massive storm shut down the city for two days, snowplow operators thought they deserved two paid days off on account of all the snow, like other government employees got.
The snowplowers’ union also filed a grievance against the city for hiring private plowing services to help with the snow removal. Perhaps it was that troublemaker Warren Eschenbach showing up with a snow shovel and volunteering to help clear the streets.
No government snowplow operators were laid off and plenty of them worked overtime after the blizzard — but the union thought Racine should remain immobilized by snow for a week so that government snowplow operators could get even more overtime.
In the private sector, a company that capitulated to such ludicrous union demands would go out of business

How Do You Decide If A Non Profit Is Worth Voluntering With?


i am triying to figure out, am I wasting my time?
The members of an affiliate non profit do not voluteer or work as a team, it is frustrating,
everyone does their own thing.
so called members do not support President, try to change what President requests espicially do not honor affiliate procedures. There is cross talk and side conversations during business meeting.
Several say I’ll do this and that and do not follow through or forget.
Two so called members have thier own agenda not developed by President are demanding and rude.
There is too much conflict and drama and ego
No response from some when emailed.
Most do nothing no volunteering.
I believe in the mission but the local group is so non active
And yes I am the president who feels like I am beating a dead dog with a stick trying to organize some oreder with the year plans and events. I know other areas are sucessful yet our rural area is challanging.Nothing improves in the community when most in this group demand thier own way, there is no team work and they so respond by actively volunteering.
