6 ways to make a difference in your spare time

Check these out, too...

Have a free afternoon? Use your downtime to make a difference in your community. We’re showing you who to call and what do to make the most of a summer off. Talk about a season of giving!

Volunteer at your local animal shelter. The animals are oh-so cute plus you’re really making a difference!

Phone up a nearby hospital or clinic and ask if they need any volunteers.

Donate old clothes to Good Will or the Salvation Army. Someone less fortunate will totally appreciate your gesture.

Serve lunch or dinner at a Soup Kitchen with your sweeties.

Help out neighborhood families by babysitting. You could have a lot of fun hanging out with the kids, and you'd be giving the parents a much-needed break from the madness.

See if you can assist with the Sunday school program at your church.

Help brighten up the lives of the elderly at a nursing home. To see your smiling face might really make their day. You can sing, dance, play games, read stories, bring in pets, just about anything you want.

Want more? We’ve come up with practically a million ways to help those in need. CLICK HERE for tons of ideas.

It's not working. :\ When I scroll up, under 'Status Update' it says in read letters "You must enter an update!", but I'm typing in 'Post a Comment'. I suppose it's fine. I replied to the girlie on her profile. What should I do if this problem continues?

Hey girl, report it to us here: http://www.girlslife.com/Contact.aspx or just post to another mod. It's late here on the East Coast, so if there is a prob with clubs on the site, it likely won't be fully fixed until tomorrow. Be patient and know it'll be resolved soon!

It seems I can't reply to a question on my club. Whats wrong? I can type the message, but when I click 'Post Comment' it just sits there. Help?

Hey girl, try refreshing the page and submitting it again (copy it before you do so you can paste it back in). The site might have just been acting up then. xoxo

Do you think it would be a good idea to start a babysitting group in my neighbourhood? I'd like to babysit a couple of kids for 5-6 hours on Saturdays/Sundays and I am thinking of charging $20 per kid. Do you think this is a good idea? How do I start advertising my services??

Hey girl,

Yes I think that's a great idea! You can start advertising by having your parents tell their friends what you want to do, because by word-of-mouth the news will spread really quickly. Also, you could make fliers and put them up at community centers, office buildings, and grocery stores in your area--just any where a lot of moms would go. Good luck!
