Event Volunteering, What To Expect
The best projects are seeded from a talent or passion -- and sometimes from something that catches our eye every day. Like that spot of bald ground at the Courthouse or Post Office. That favorite jogging path that needs come pruning. Or, maybe a school field or activity center that just needs some TLC. Feeling ambitous?
► When you find a project here that interests you, 'volunteering' will send an email to the project coordinator who will contact you with more information and event details.
It doesn't take much to show you care. In dozens of ways, thousands of people will be teaming up with United Methodists during the third-annual Change the World event on May 19-20.
More than 1,144 projects are searchable here.

United Methodist. Christian. and gay.
by Artie Van WhyPresented by Artie Van Why at the Eastern Pennsylvania Delegation Listening Session held on March 12, 2012 at Ephrata First UMC, Ephrata, PA.
I’m a member of a United Methodist church that welcomes and affirms me unreservedly.
Ironically, the denomination I’m now a part of hesitantly welcomes me with reservations, conditions and restrictions; because I’m gay.
Looking to the Book of Discipline for understanding I only find confusion and inconsistencies.

► I am so glad I volunteered. I have a real passion to help my community feed and clothe those hard-pressed by the tough economy around us, and I spend the afternoon doing just that!

speak up for children
It’s been killing for thousands of years; since the time of King Tut. But it stops now. It’s time to stand together. We’re talking about a disease that we eliminated in the U.S. back in the 1950s, but Africa was left behind. So, what exactly are we fighting?

honor his legacy
Honoring his legacy is as simple as supper with your neighbors.
"Dr. King envisioned a “beloved community” where brotherhood is a reality that does not allow poverty, hunger and homelessness to exist."

Seven Generations Ahead
Seventh Generation's Accountability
Could You Plan Seven Generations Ahead? When most of us see the words “free and clear” we’re ready to celebrate having a debt paid rather than think about the products under our kitchen sink.
One corporation in particular is the catalyst for a grassroots “free and clear” movement with a focus seven generations out. That’s like planning the seating now for a barbeque party July 2152!
