AROUND TOWN/COMMUNITIES
Working with the topic “Volunteers” in Ventures 4
or Ventures Transitions?

If you would like the article in a Word doc, email Elke (elkestappert@nypl.org)
Here's the link: Running for Amelia
Also, for
the LifeSkills activity around
Volunteer Opportunities (p. 68),
here’s a
great listing by Time Out NY:
Volunteer
opportunities by topic (health, environment, youth, animals, other).
Great
for individual student research outside of class.
