can someone explain what exactly The Association of Community organizations for Reform Now ACORN does
They arrange for underage Bolivian girls to come to America and work as prostitutes.
I’m 16, and I feel like I need to do something more productive than sitting around. I feel like it’s difficult to find volunteer jobs, and I think if I join some youth organization, I’ll be able to get more than just volunteering out of it, y’know? Like experience? I’m currently a member of Y Street, but I haven’t actually been active with it, and I think that there’s not much to do with Y Street in my area.
If you’re 15 try your local Fire and Rescue – when you get to be 16 you can become an Emergency Medical Technician or a Fire Fighter. Each station has different rules – go check it out…
And also creat a better society where every-body will be equal just as we were created by God?
I doubt racism can be eradicated from the top down. But the top can foster education and understanding.
A heavy-handed top-down approach could easily backfire, and add fuel to the fires of racism.
I have located my American born daughter in the Middle East, are there any charitable organizations that would help me to get her? I have exhausted all my resources to find her.
The only think I can think of might be http://www.modestneeds.org . It’s basically where any individual can request donations for a specific need. Try it out.
I am unable to work, due to health problems and right now driving a friends car, but have to get up early to take him to work. Besides my health problems, I have a 2yr old and it makes it even harder on the situation. Can anyone tell me if there are any programs out there where I might qualify to get help getting a car or possibly be able to get one through charity?
Yes you can.My grandmother had breast cancer and she was in need of transportation.The hospital she was going to said that they could help her.They sent her to a church group that handles alot of charity things for the needy.Try a local church.
Indians are from India. I would think that Native Americans themselves would be the first to rid themselves of an innacurate label. I ask this as I’m a case manager and one of my clients is Native American and involved in some reservation related legal stuff. All affiliated organizations use the word Indian instead of Native American. I just don’t get it is all.
I’m not offended, it’s just confusing when I’m trying to talk about something Indian (i.e. from India) and I get people thinking I’m talking about Native Americans. My dad deals in Indian furniture so this actually comes up more frequently than you would think. I’d say "Indian furniture" and people ask me if it’s Cherokee or something…
they want to go to Native American but they have reservations
If I advertise for a nonprofit organization by placing a sign on my vehicle, are there tax-deductible benefits? I live in Pennsylvania.
Thanks
Thanks for your reply Bostonian. I understand the rule, but is there another way to look at it. I could get paid $5000 for AT&T to advertise on my car, but because there is an advertisement for the nonprofit on there, I can not. Could it be an in-kind donation?
The cost of the sign possibly, but that’s about it. The cost of operating the car is explicitly prohibited as an advertising expense deduction.
one of them is that buseinesses cause pollution. another may be corruption. can you please halp me with the other eight?
transparency and corporate governance
stake holders
human rights
community
marketplace
economical development
international issues
reporting and accounting standards
I’m 15 and I’m starting a non-profit organization. I would be the director of the organization, and I have a friend to be in charge of marketing and another friend to be in charge of the finances. I was wondering what other positions would need to be filled in order for this organization to be a success.
Ps. The organization is run by teens for teens and we plan on doing a different fund raising event each month for a different cause.
I think it is a great idea to do fundraising for other non-profits, but it might not really be worth the effort to register as an organization yourselves. Especially since you are all teens. I am assuming (hoping) the three of you are planning to volunteer and not get paid? If that is the case, why not start with just doing the fundraisers first.
For example, start with an American Heart Association HeartWalk or Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. They have lots of tips on their websites for how to organize a team.
Filing as a non-profit is a huge lot of work that just may not be necessary right now. And neither really are titles or positions, although you can still have those. Maybe talk to someone at your school about making it an official student organization.
Good luck!
I have 2 write a paper on 4 organizations. I just want some ideas thrown out to me please.

The field of Human Services is broadly defined, uniquely approaching the objective of meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations. The Human Services profession is one which promotes improved service delivery systems by addressing not only the quality of direct services, but also by seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination among professionals and agencies in service delivery.
