Difference.”</A></P>

The Huffington post writes, “The largest database of volunteer opportunities
online, All for Good is the ultimate platform for finding ways to make a
difference. Each month, the site hosts 150,000 local volunteer listings in major
cities.”</P>

young people concrete concepts and a how-to for ideas, such as recipes to make
for families in need or holding a park cleanup.” See a list of projects <A
