If a young person were to suddenly relocate to a new city, one of the first things she might want to do after unpacking is figure out how to make new friends.

A tried-and-true way to do that is to join organizations and volunteer to help worthy causes.

This method offers the twofer of not only meeting like-minded, caring people, but also actually making a contribution to something that matters.

So how, one might ask, does one find said worthy organizations? A great resource is Volunteer Match. It's a super website that sorts by interests and location. And it's full of great success stories. Worth a looksee.
