I'm assuming that you are LGBT yourself. If you're comfortable and in a position to be out, visibility has proven to be a great contribution. You can start a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), or Pride group at your school if you're in high school. If you're in college, there's probably an existing group you can join. When there are political discussions argue for LGBT rights. When there are opportunities, stand up for the LGBT community. If you're not used to this, spend some time with people who are and learn how to do it successfully. Educate yourself on LGBT issues both so that you can help your self, and so that you can be a knowledgeable role model for others. There will be a lot of material in either the school or the local library you can read. If not, there are a lot of legitimate websites you can use. Learn to present your knowledge and experience in a manner that can be understood by anyone, gay or straight. Search for local LGBT groups and find out what they are already doing. Volunteering with such groups is a great way to contribute. If there are no such local groups, look at what people are doing in other communities and figure out which ones you can make work in yours. Online, you can seek out forums like this where you can either promote tolerance or seek to help other members of the LGBT community. Vote at every opportunity. Vote in an informed manner. And let your representatives know that you vote and what you care about. This ought to keep you busy for a while, and by the time you're done you'll know what to do next. |

First of all, who are you to say that animal shelters & parks are not as worthy/needy of funding as your program? People donate to non-profits that directly effect their own lives. I donate $$ to my local community radio station. It might not seem like priority to you, but it is to me b/c I listen to that station everyday & my life would be empty without it. I also donate my time to Big Brothers Big Sisters, because it's an established, well-known organization and I am directly involved in the life of my Little Sister. Perhaps you need to publicize your organization more. Issue press releases about the work that you're doing, start a direct mail campaign, have regular events (bake sales, car washes, concerts) to get the word out. The more people know about your charity, the more willing they will be to donate to it. Remember - there are *tons* of worthy charities out there in need of funding. We can't give to all of them - it's just impossible. We do what we can afford, so we choose the ones that matter most to us. Don't take it so personally that *everyone* isn't contributing to yours. We have different values. |

Community service done on a Community service done on a
national level: Is the
military a community service
Is being in the military a
civic duty? Is a civic duty
the same as community service?
Palin 3- Then it would not be
'volunteering' for the
military but a forced action
like jury duty. Penalties will
be induced!! That is very
scary!

I'm not sure but do know Mr. Obama mentions a year of National Service....hmmm I believe that just might mean the military. |
