Local and Global Resources

Now more than ever, the world needs compassionate individuals like yourself to give back and make a positive difference in the community. And with these resources from LNJ Life Coaching, you will learn everything you need to know how to give back locally, globally or both! 

Volunteer or Donate Locally

These Local and Global Resources explain how to connect to local volunteer and donation opportunities. 

  • Support a veteran by volunteering at a hospital or running errands for them. 
  • Consider joining a youth mentoring program and help children and teens navigate challenges and learn necessary skills to become successful.
  • Support the Animal Humane Society by volunteering at a pet shelter or providing in-home foster care services for pets. 
  • Donate clothing, food, blankets, and other essentials to local homeless shelters.

Virtual Opportunities from Near or Far

If you are looking to make a difference that extends beyond your local community, these virtual opportunities will help you do it! 

  • Volunteer with global organizations like the United Nations Volunteers (UNV), Catchafire, or Smithsonian Digital Volunteers. 
  • Visit VolunteerMatch to browse through thousands of virtual volunteer opportunities. 
  • Tutor a student online through organizations such as Learn To Be. 
  • Donate used items such as cars, electronics, books, furniture, and fitness equipment. 

Career Opportunities that Give Back

If you are interested in pursuing a rewarding career that gives back to the community, these resources will help you find the perfect occupation.

  • Consider a rewarding new career in education or teaching. You can do so from the comfort of your own home by taking classes online.  
  • Look for jobs at local nonprofit organizations. 
  • Obtain a public health degree and pursue a career in infectious disease, for example.
  • Help the environment by pursuing a green job as an environmental lawyer, geoscientist, or hydrologist.

These Local and Global Resources will help you to experience the benefits of philanthropy and volunteerism firsthand. Whether you volunteer online or donate to a local charity, you will be helping community members and making the world a better place to live!
