Why don't you call them and find out why you need a driver's license. What
is the project? Sometimes you can find other ways to do the thing they have
in mind, but you have to be creative about it.

I found 1 volunteer opportunity. However, when I clicked on the I
want to help button, they said that it requires a valid drivers
license. Not just a valid state issued identification card. Here is
the link to the opportunity:
http://www.volunteermatch.org/search/opp1964604.jsp. In their help
wanted ad they do not mention driving.

>> >>>>> What?s the Most Important Question in Your Life?
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> Aaron Schwartz, the famous programmer and internet activist who
>> >>>>> died
>> >>>>> before
>> >>>>> his time, said: ?You should be asking yourself all the time what is
>> >>>>> the
>> >>>>> most
>> >>>>> important thing in the world I could be working on right now, and
>> >>>>> if
>> >>>>> you
>> >>>>> are
>> >>>>> not working on that, why aren?t you??
>> >>>>> These days in Silicon Valley, I meet people who are smart and
> working
>> >>>>> at
>> >>>>> a
>> >>>>> company ?changing the world.? I don?t want to rain on their parade,
>> >>>>> but
>> >>>>> developing another instant messaging service is not ?changing the
>> >>>>> world.?
>> >>>>> It?s not that these people are intentionally neglecting the larger
>> >>>>> issues
>> >>>>> in
>> >>>>> the world, or that they don?t care.
>> >>>>> I believe it?s because some people don?t yet know what is important
> to
>> >>>>> them
>> >>>>> and what they can do about it.
>> >>>>> How do you move from skimming news headlines to caring about the
>> >>>>> issue?
>> >>>>> And
>> >>>>> then from caring about the issue to wanting to make it what you
>> >>>>> want
>> >>>>> to
>> >>>>> spend your time working on?
>> >>>>> How to Find Yourself and Change the World
>> >>>>> I encourage people to take this into their own hands. To learn
>> >>>>> about
>> >>>>> yourself and what you are capable of. Take the initiative and open
>> >>>>> yourself
>> >>>>> up to the broader experiences of the world?to experiences that
>> >>>>> might
>> >>>>> be
>> >>>>> new,
>> >>>>> exciting, emotional, and sometimes physically uncomfortable.
>> >>>>> One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering
> at
>> >>>>> a
>> >>>>> human rights nonprofit and interviewing refugees in a camp on the
>> >>>>> Thai-Burma
>> >>>>> border. There was no running water, no electricity. We sat on the
>> >>>>> bare
>> >>>>> floors of their thatched huts. I listened to their stories of
>> >>>>> their
>> >>>>> lives.
>> >>>>> Family members would pick up the guitar and take turns singing
>> >>>>> traditional
>> >>>>> folk songs.
>> >>>>> I came back to my last year of Harvard Law School and felt no
>> >>>>> temptation
>> >>>>> to
>> >>>>> go to the recruiting events of the big law firms. I was one of the
>> >>>>> very
>> >>>>> few
>> >>>>> who did not have a job upon graduation. I continued to write and
>> >>>>> eventually fell into journalism. I was so grateful that I had
>> >>>>> found
>> >>>>> something that was important to me, that I could call my work.
>> >>>>> To truly realize what is important to you and what you can do to
> make
>> >>>>> a
>> >>>>> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough yet
>> >>>>> about
>> >>>>> the issue?you will learn it by doing it.
>> >>>>> Be Curious?Say Yes
>> >>>>> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland
>> >>>>> and
>> >>>>> tour
>> >>>>> their community garden, do it. Go and don?t be afraid to talk to
>> >>>>> the
>> >>>>> people
>> >>>>> who live there and learn about their community. If the Rainforest
>> >>>>> Action
>> >>>>> Network has a public talk about orangutans in the Sumatran
> rainforest
>> >>>>> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If
>> >>>>> there?s
>> >>>>> a
>> >>>>> screening of Power of Two, an award-winning movie about cystic
>> >>>>> fibrosis
>> >>>>> and
>> >>>>> discussion with the producers, go to the movie and stay for the
>> >>>>> discussion.
>> >>>>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided
>> >>>>> bird-watching
>> >>>>> tours, go check it out and hear from the guides about how they are
>> >>>>> building
>> >>>>> more public access trails.
>> >>>>> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to
>> >>>>> learn
>> >>>>> more
>> >>>>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
>> >>>>> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
>> >>>>> Do you have an interest in children? Volunteer with CASA, a
> national
>> >>>>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster
>> >>>>> home.
>> >>>>> Get
>> >>>>> a huge smile from your foster-child when you offer to take them to
> see
>> >>>>> a
>> >>>>> movie.
>> >>>>> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines? Volunteer
> at
>> >>>>> the
>> >>>>> local free clinic that serves the poorest of our society?help
>> >>>>> people
>> >>>>> get
>> >>>>> screened for high blood pressure or get training to be a peer
>> >>>>> counsellor
>> >>>>> to
>> >>>>> at-risk young people.
>> >>>>> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a valuable
>> >>>>> skill
>> >>>>> that almost any nonprofit could use. Take action and call them up
> even
>> >>>>> if
>> >>>>> you don?t see a volunteer posting. Ask them if you could help
>> >>>>> them
>> >>>>> with
>> >>>>> their email newsletter, brochure for an upcoming fundraiser, or
> their
>> >>>>> website.
>> >>>>> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa. Once I
>> >>>>> visited
>> >>>>> Africa, he said, ?I saw it, I heard it and I felt it.?
>> >>>>> You will gain knowledge and confidence. By living fully?not turning
>> >>>>> away
>> >>>>> from things that are different, complex, messy, intense?you will
> find
>> >>>>> how
>> >>>>> you are capable of doing meaningful work.
>> >>>>> Keep asking yourself along the way: ?What is the most important

>> >>>>> in
>> >>>>> the

>> >>>>> Hi all,
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> Thanks for sharing this, Darian. I will second the comment that the
>> >>>>> division?s Twitter is a great source of information on all things
>> >>>>> community
>> >>>>> service.
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> I really like this article, and I think its author has some really
>> >>>>> good
>> >>>>> things to say about getting involved in service and finding out
>> >>>>> what
>> >>>>> you
>> >>>>> truly enjoy doing. The main thing that struck me is the point the
>> >>>>> author
>> >>>>> made about being open to new experiences and just getting out there
>> >>>>> and
>> >>>>> trying something you think you?re interested in, even if you don?t
>> >>>>> think
>> >>>>> you
>> >>>>> know enough about how to do it. Often you do end up learning the
> most
>> >>>>> valuable information through emersion. I know this is one of the
>> >>>>> biggest
>> >>>>> struggles I?ve had personally in getting more involved in service.
> I?m
>> >>>>> a
>> >>>>> very structured person. It?s a lot easier for me to go and do
>> >>>>> something
>> >>>>> if I
>> >>>>> know exactly how it?s going to go and what is going to be asked of
> me.
>> >>>>> What
>> >>>>> this author is saying, though, is that the key is just to get out
>> >>>>> there
>> >>>>> and
>> >>>>> you will learn what you need to learn as you go along, and that?s
>> >>>>> okay.
>> >>>>> I
>> >>>>> know thinking like this makes me a little nervous, and I would
> imagine
>> >>>>> that
>> >>>>> this fear of the unknown is what ultimately leads many blind people
> to
>> >>>>> decide not to serve because we worry that we won?t know how to
> perform
>> >>>>> the
>> >>>>> tasks that are needed. This article stresses that the key is just
>> >>>>> to
>> >>>>> say
>> >>>>> yes. Don?t think too much about it. In full disclosure, I?m not
> saying
>> >>>>> that
>> >>>>> this is easy. I?ll be the first to say that it?s certainly not for
> me,
>> >>>>> but I
>> >>>>> think it?s advice worth trying. And what better time to try than
>> >>>>> during
>> >>>>> the
>> >>>>> 75 Days of Service, when there?s a whole group of people there to
>> >>>>> support
>> >>>>> you and talk through any worries or challenges you might have.
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> The author asks us how we move from passively skimming headlines to
>> >>>>> caring
>> >>>>> to actively doing. This is a question I?ve wondered about for some
>> >>>>> time,
>> >>>>> and
>> >>>>> it?s why I love what we?re doing with the 75 Days of Service
>> >>>>> because
>> >>>>> we?re
>> >>>>> not just talking about what issues are important to us and what
>> >>>>> we?d
>> >>>>> like
>> >>>>> to
>> >>>>> do about them or what we wish someone else would do about them;
> we?re
>> >>>>> actually making plans and taking an active role in giving back to
> our
>> >>>>> communities.
>> >>>>>
>> >>>>> The following passage from the article resonated with me the most:
> ?By
>> >>>>> living fully?not turning away from things that are different,
> complex,
>> >>>>> messy, intense?you will find how you are capable of doing
>> >>>>> meaningful
>> >>>>> work.?
>> >>>>> This speaks to me not just as a person who wants to get more
> involved
>> >>>>> in
>> >>>>> service, not just as a blind person, but as a person in general,
>> >>>>> and
> I
>> >>>>> think
>> >>>>> it?s something we can all take to heart in our lives.
