INVEST YOURSELF: The Catalog of Volunteer Opportunities

Invest Yourself: The Catalog of Volunteer Opportunities describes thousands of full- and part-time volunteer positions throughout North America and the world--and thousands of reasons to take time out for a truly worthy cause. Organized alphabetically, by region and by interest, there's simply no excuse for not finding the perfect opportunity. The guide is only $8, the start of a very worthy investment.
