Do Something National nonprofit organ- ization that encourages young people to strengthen their communities. Volunteering Selling hot dogs on a stick. Peeling your thighs off the vinyl seats of your parents '87 Buick station wagon after a 18 hour drive through the plain states in August. Dragging yourself off the floor of a seedy dive in Cancun. Well, aside from giving you a splitting headache, they are the possibilities for your vacations.
Nothing feels better than giving back.
There is no shortage of those in need, or opportunities to help them. No matter where your interests lie, there is a way you can use your skills for giving. Volunteering, however, need not be limited to college breaks. You may want to get involved during the semester, offering your services for a few hours a month, whether on weekends or after classes. A great place to start is Alpha Phi Omega , so check to see if there is a chapter on your campus or a neighboring one.
