There are thousands of nonprofits across America that are on the front lines of change. Many of them could use your help. Otherwise, you can hook up with a nonprofit to get a new project off the ground. If you do so, keep in mind that it may take a few brainstorming sessions to come up with a project that works for both groups. Even if your team doesn't form a partnership with a CBO, these organizations can provide valuable guidance and support.
Local businesses can also be project partners.
If you do approach a business in your area, be flexible. Although a bank may be tapped out for monetary contributions for the year, it may be willing to coordinate a company-wide drive to collect pencils, books, and paper for your educational day camp for homeless kids.
