Every time I hear about a something like Habitat for Humanity or another interesting social program, I think "I should really find out more about that, maybe get involved". But I never have. I've always cited lack of time, money, energy, or some other resource or ability, but I think the truth is that I've just been too self-absorbed.
So, when the time came to put together this website I thought I'd try to make up for some of that by creating a forum wherein people who are interested in being active in their communities can share resources and find support from other "activists".
So here it is.
I hope I can learn a thing or two about what I can do to become more active in programs that are beneficial to the community I live in, and that others might find the inspiration here to do the same. If this forum takes off and a lot of good resources and tips start pouring in, I'll create a sticky to keep track of them all and provide easy access to the info for all passerby.
