How many of you volunteer an amount of your time locally?
I just recently got approved to start volunteer work with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) which gives assistence to refugee families here in America. I'll be mentoring a family which is basically introducing them to the country once they get here and helping them out with anything and everything they will need once they are here. Their website is @

There are a ton of volunteer opportunities though in town and it's such a rewarding experience to do something like this if you have the available time. If you are studying law there are opportunities in free law clinics, I had a friend who did this in her spare time. If you like animals there are the shelters that you can work with. Just a ton of opportunities for whatever interests you. I think they were even posting volunteer opportunities in the Quick paper from the Dallas Morning News for awhile, they might still do that.
Just a heads up.
