Organizations

Anybody know any youth Mixed Martial Arts organizations? im 15 yrs old

No there is not. However you can get into MMA within a few years. If I were you I would devote the next three years to one style. BJJ, Judo, Wrestling, Muay Thai or Boxing; start taking one style and get really good at it. Once you have that particular style down take another that is the opposite so that you round out your game and can get into MMA at an early age. Best of luck.

Boys and Girls clubs do what they say! Boys and Girls clubs aren’t corrupt! Boys and Girls clubs have better political and economic views!

I am looking for organizations that commit to share God’s message of hope and that will designate my donations to directly help those in need. Preferably, one that donates entirely, or close to 100% of what it receives towards direct action (food, medical treatement, education, housing).

How well do you think Native American organizations, like the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), and the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA), are helping Native Americans to advance .

The BIA’s responsibility is to help develop, protect and maintain the land that is held in trust to the federally recognised tribes by the US. I believe that they have upheld thier reputation as to aiding tribes in this area, and that advancement relies on the overall development of each indivual tribe and the land that they reside upon. although i do agree with answerer #1, to be adequate in these areas, it seems that there should be a more diverse, (if not whole) panel.

The NCAI is there to monitor and aid in the advancement and protection of existing tribal programs and services. This congress was launched because of the attempts to diminish tribal peoples rights and continues to help tribes throughout the country. With the NCAI supporting individual tribes in the protection of health care, education, economic oppurtunity and resources that are available to them now, it is definitely a step towards the better for everyone.

The NIGA are there to monitor gaming operations, to make sure that all statutues are followed and that each gaming facility stays in compliance with the individual gaming laws of each perspective state of which a tribe may choose to open a facility.
NIGA is doing very well in aiding tribal operations with there success. NIGA makes themselves very available when it comes to the needs of anyone who has questions about regulations.
I believe that gaming is the most successful enterprise of tribes today, and that it will only advance in the future. NIGA is an excellent example of a class "A" association, which aids in the advancement and monitoring of any Tribe of america.

They are all here to help tribal people, although all in different ways, they are very helpful in the advancement of Native American Tribes.

Or if you know where to find a similar list by total revenue, preferably for 2006. Thanks!

So members in my club & I want to do something positive for the less fortunate this Holiday by giving Christmas gifts. Since my club is the Multi-cultural Student Union, we voted that we would like to send our gifts to differing countries (anywhere outside of the U.S). The problem is finding a good organization that is dependable and legit that was help direct our gifts to where we want them to go. Any ideas?

I am an event planner and I am consulting with a local fashion designer on his first fashion show. He has a lot of questions and I think he could benefit by being a member of some industry association. Are there any national organizations that may have local or regional branches? Are there even any on-line communities for other designers or anyone in the fashion industry?

You might want to start with www.meetup.com and see if they have any local groups that might be a match for him….and you.

How do community organizations help the commuity and the people in it?
and why are they there?

For one thing they are way ahead of government help because they are already there and move a lot quicker when needed, they have supplies on hand for whatever is needed or they can get them quick, having one in your area is a definite bonus,, it also shows that the people who there care, they care enough to give up some of their own time to help others, the ones that do get paid could make more at other places but some jobs have more rewards than just money.
