Making a difference

Question

I recently left a long time career due to misinformation/ miscommunication with my manager.  One aspect of my career I loved was getting groups of volunteers from the workplace to help at events for local non-profits aimed at raising funds and awareness for youth.  The non-profit received a grant; we received the pleasure of helping others.  I am looking for a career where I can put my talent to work in the Acworth, Georgia area.  Any ideas where to begin?

Hi Ali4280, look at United Way and its affiliates as it will give you an idea of companies that focus on volunteerism where you could do what you enjoyed. You'll need to be clear though on your profile here and on LinkedIn, what result you are going to achieve for the organization. For example, you could be a volunteer coordinator offering organizations the ability to engage and mobilize corporate volunteering partnerships.

Check out Idealist.com as well. I have found it very helpful for service oriented positions. Good luck!

You can also consider flipping sides and looking for positions at non-profits including family and community foundations and other charitable positions.
