One-on-One tutoring

Back on Track is a company that supplies tutoring for k-12 students for free. I think this is an awesome company because many students need this but can not afford it.
Back on Track is a free one-on-one tutoring and academic mentorship program for K-12 students. Students and volunteer tutors meet once a week for a two-hour session. They come together from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds to learn together and promote cross-cultural understanding. Back on Track also provides student with a variety of enrichment activities and field trips. Families are given resources and training, encouraging them to become active partners in their children's growth.

Give Children a Safe Home!!

Yet, each year in Colorado, more than 10,000 children are victims of abuse and neglect. A CASA -- Court Appointed Special Advocate -- is a community volunteer who gets to know these children and stands up for them in court to help ensure their best interests are served. This is a website trying to provide safe homes for children who have been abused and neglected!

A How To....

This video is the 1st of many to give a step by step guide on how to form a nonprofit organization.

N.F.I.A (nonprofit organization)

Here is a link to a nonprofit organization called the N.F.I.A. It is not a large or well-known establishment, but it is a township hall that resides close to home. The Neshaminy Falls Improvement Association, the N.F.I.A., is a building in the suburbs of Trevose, that strictly runs on nonprofit. It is available for rent for parties, or events, and gains the funds to maintain running through fundraising. Recently there has been less interest in the historical building and the threat of closing down is becoming more eminent. I am posting the link to the site, so others can learn more about the buildng, and to try and aquire some ideas for fundraising.
