Volunteering

I just signed up for my volunteer hours with SMART: Start Making a Reader Today.  

I've posted two sites on the right that'll help people find places to volunteer, though I imagine many of you will have something in mind already, places where you've been meaning to, planning to, hoping to, etc.

There's obviously a bit of honor code to all this, so for tallying purposes, simply leave a comment when you've signed up, and add your "yes" to the poll on the right as well. One down, 9,999 to go.


Suggestions, Ideas, Comments, etc. can also be directed to onemillionhours@gmail.com


Here We Go!

UPDATE:  Please do send an email or leave a comment (simply click the number of comments linked below) when  you sign up to volunteer. I am working on making this more trackable so we can all watch the hours add up. I also allowed for anonymous comments now.  Still learning, after all! Thank you.

I've just signed up to assist with a mailing project for Streetside Stories in SF on Nov 19th!

I used to spend a couple of hours a week washing dishes at a soup kitchen in my neighborhood. Then I got too busy/distracted/lazy. This is a real inspiration to renew that commitment.
