A. it is best to join organizations that you are interested in. colleges like to see that you actually care about the things you are involved in. so if you like playing a sport, join a team. if you enjoy volunteering, join a volunteer organization. it is best to show commitment and passion toward an activity, rather than worry what looks best. it's also good if you take a leadership role in an organization that you're involved in because that shows more dedication and responsibility.

Are there any organizations that help others start and run new companies?
Q. Meaning an organization that helps someone start a company not only financially but also gives them advice through market research and or other methods. Also organizations that help companies until they get on their feet. I'm looking for an organization that you can take an idea to and they help you make it happen (turn it into a reality).

A. Go to and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor.

other organizations such as the Peace Corps or AmeriCorps?
Q. I am interested in a year of service after graduating before going on to law school, and I was trying to find an organization that was more hands-on than the two mentioned above. These organizations are more about setting up a poverty network than physically helping people in poverty, from what I have read anyway, and I am interested in something more direct. Any suggestions, tips, advice? Thanks in advance.

How are volunteer organizations primarily funded?
Q. I am thinking mainly of ESL literacy organizations. I realize they have the volunteers for the work, but they also ussually have full time staff, facilities and revenue. Do donations keep these organizations afloat, or do they tap into some sort of government grant handout that supports them because they are serving the community (whatever that means) I would like to know how these organizations work? I'm believer in the follow the money principle but where is the money come from?

What are the organizations/companies that work on adults with low reading rates?
Q. Hi, I am from Turkey. Like most of the developing countries, lots of adults can read but are not interested in regular reading. Book publishing rates are low and the variety is limited.

A better is idea is to engage in activities that will make you a better candidate for volunteering internationally when you are older, like working in HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns, learning another language well enough to work in, joining FFA, working with immigrants, etc. Here is a web site that can help you learn more about the skills and experience desired by volunteer placement agencies, and how you can engage in activities now to make you an attractive candidate some day: Even when you turn 18, you are going to be too young to volunteer for groups that send skilled volunteers to the developing world and *don't* charge the volunteers for the… [cont.]

A. I've got in contact with a couple NGO's that are there right now for volunteering...but it's almost impossible to volunteer there if you aren't a professional (doctor, nurse, etc...) b/c a lot of the activities that are needed there usually go to locals b/c they have heavy unemployment...so they pay a lot of people that live in certain area's of Darfur to do a lot of the work that you are looking to volunteer for.

A. How about you help someone on kiva.org? These people are trying to improve their situation for themselves and their families in the 3rd World by starting small local projects and businesses. You can help them directly by lending them money, interest free. The risk is actually very low as about 95% of the money is paid back. When you get it back, you help someone else! EDIT: Thanks for clearing that up, RoofingPrincess! Turns out Kiva doesn't charge interest, but Kiva actually deals with microfinance partners on the field and these partners do charge various rates.
