Networking and Non-Profits
Finding ways to help and make a living is difficult especially when you're like me and have big plans to help with very little money to get there. Dr. B, Communications Professor at Longwood, and I were having a conversation a little while ago about what I wanted to do post-graduation. I told him that I wanted to help people here and in other countries. I want to volunteer and change the world in some way. He pointed to my nails and explained that the community service lifestyle won't pay for a french manicure lifestyle. It made me laugh and blush but it got me thinking about how I would make a living and help people. Obviously I would give up my pretty nails to help others but I also have to be able to take of my basic needs. So I'm on the search for non-profit organizations seeking employees. I found a nonprofit network site and was hoping others could send me information on nonprofits they know of or other sites that offer these job listings.

I love this idea! You are so driven and I have a good feeling you will make your mark on the world. I applied for a job with the Susan G. Komen foundation, and even if you don't get a job with a nonprofit there's always volunteer work to be done. you never know starting there may lead to something great!
