Welcome to the 90K...It's All About Time Blog!

To celebrate the 90th Anniversary of Emmanuel College, we asked you to take time to make a difference by raising 90,000 alumni volunteer hours during our anniversary year...and you have!

Over the past several months, I have so enjoyed hearing what you are doing to contribute to 90K. Now, with the launch of the 90K blog, you can share your experiences and ideas with everyone in the Emmanuel community. Please let us know what you are doing to make a difference.

With best wishes,

Finding Volunteer Opportunities

If you are looking for a way to contribute volunteer hours to 90k, but aren't sure where you can volunteer, one good resource for you is http://www.volunteermatch.org/. Volunteer Match allows you to enter the geographical location where you would like to volunteer as well as a Keyword (ex. literacy) and provides you with possible volunteer opportunities in your area. There is also a search for Virtual Volunteer Opportunities that have no set location and can be completed anywhere you have access to the Internet!

Another great resource if http://www.charitynavigator.org/. This website dubs itself as 'Your guide to Intelligent Giving', and lists different criteria related to each organization (ex: mission, size, allocation of funds raised, etc.). You can search this website for charities and issues that are near and dear to your heart and hopefully find a local chapter of an organization that can use the assistance of a wonderful volunteer like you!

Good luck in your search and thank you for contributing to Emmanuel's goal of 90k!
