There are volunteer centres - usually at the municipal government level. Or look in the phone book for distress centres they are always looking for volunteers.

People in the nursing homes need someone to bring a smile to their face. To them, you may be a sister, daughter or grandchild. But that's ok, you gave them happiness in a world of darkness. Volunteer at a homeless shelter. A smile may make someones day. Volunteer at a local hospital. They always need help. Volunteer to sit with a sick person and let the caregiver have an hour or so to themselves. It does wonders for everyone concerned. Offer to go to the store for shut ins. They may be at a point they think noone cares. Read shut ins a story. Their eyes no longer may see.

Determine the need and service it. If the need is hair cuts and you can cut hair, cut hair. If the need is clothing and you know the size of the individual's you will service, buy the clothes. If the need is bathing and washing clothes, build a mobile shower/laundry that allows them to keep themselves clean. If the need is storage for things they carry with them because they have no place to put them, acquire 5' by 8' containers that you can put in a vacant lot, and provide them with access to the storage container (you keep the lock and keys). Determine the need and service it.

Youth hostels or other cheap lodging in Raleigh or Fayetteville area?
We're looking for inexpensive lodging for 25 people in the Raleigh/Fayetteville area, something like a youth hostel or YWCA, while they're on their way to Florida to do service/mission work. Do you have any place in this general area (near I-95) you'd recommend that is safe and inexpensive?

About What type of volunteer work could an American do (preferably sponsored work) in the UK

What type of volunteer work could an American do (preferably sponsored work) in the UK?
I'm graduating from college next year and I am looking at programs such as Teach for America, Peace Corps, World Teach and Fulbright english teaching assistantships. I looked into Raleigh International, but would prefer to not have to pay.

Do any of those programs even work in the UK? I know Peace Corps does not. The country isn't exactly the developing world and most developmental organizations aim for those. Perhaps you could contact some universities in the country and ask them. They might have some good ideas.
2 :
There are NO sponsored volunteering activities in the UK for Americans. The UK has plenty of its OWN local volunteers! PeaceCorps does not place volunteers in the UK. They place them in *developing countries*. Here's details on all your options for volunteering abroad: Volunteer Abroad http://www.coyotecommunications.com/volunteer/international.html

About what is a Good Resturant to

What is a Good Resturant to ?
What is a good restaurant to work at in Raleigh NC? Where can I make the most money? I have thought about Bahama Breeze, Carrabas, or Bonefish. Any help would be appreciated!
Food Service - 5 Answers

1 :
Go for Carrabas. They are somewhat fancy yet not too pricey. Thus leaving more money for a tip at the end of the meal.
2 :
Carrabas would probably be your best best. They have higher ticket prices and are always busy. Typically a higher class comes in their as well that will tend to tip heavier. I am a former employee of Carrabas and averaged about $100 through the week and $150-200 on the weekends.
3 :
All those are chain restaurants. You won't make that much money there. I'd try some of the independent, locally-owned fine dining places in and around downtown. That's where the real money is.
4 :
Carrabas.But also depends on what the demographics are of the area where the restaurant is.

They might have them around Raleigh. usually in the outskirts of the city limit though. You can try Apex, Cary, Fuquay-Varina, or Morrisville for small office places to work in. They have office jobs in there too. Downtown Raleigh is mostly big office buildings and the office parks usually have midrise office buildings with lots of employees. But those suburban towns have the old buildings on the ground floor and in the old Mayberry part of the town.

I don't want to wait 2 more years until I can volunteer... I find myself qualified to work with animals, and I want experience for the job I plan to have in the future.

Need a good Realtor? If In Alabama - e-mail me If not in Alabama - I can still recommend an experienced Realtor from your area that will give you OUTSTANDING service! I work with a network of Realtors across North Amercia. http://www.pauld-kw.com http://www.bhammls.com/dziedzic
3 :
Choosing the best Realtor is really dependent upon your own personal preferences. Do you prefer a Realtor who seeks creative housing solutions to meet your needs or one who strictly adheres to your preferences for housing? e.g. You tell the Realtor you are interested in a traditional home with three bedrooms and a large yard for your dog. He finds a 3 bedroom, two-story colonial, with a small yard that is just down the street from a great dog park. Do you want to know about that one? Before selecting a Realtor, you should choose two or three and meet with them after describing your housing needs. Their initial presentation of homes will give you a pretty good idea of their work ethic and whether they are working to find you the best solution or just hunting an easy payday. Don't overlook chemistry - it will affect communication between the parties. Ask if they have a good relationship with a mortgage lender. A reputable Realtor could save you thousands of dollars in unnecessary points and help streamline the process; they'll also do a better job of managing the lender's activities to close in a timely manner. Take your time to research the area yourself. Choosing the right Realtor will greatly enhance your experience and leave you feeling that your decision was a wise one. I'm a former Realtor from Florida who moved to Raleigh in 2006. I had chosen a local top producer who then assigned me to one of their 'team members' when I arrived to start shopping. I was terribly disappointed with their representative's laid-back, reactive style. I ended up firing them and found my own home. Good luck! Louis
4 :
Best Realtor in my opinion is one who is focused on providing excellent service. In my opinion, those who work by referral, are held accountable not only by their clients but by those who refer them. If you would like to work with a Realtor who's built their business by referrals, go to http://www.ReferredPro.com and I'll refer you to a great one in Raleigh.

About flying alone for first time and I have a connection? How do they work

Flying alone for first time and I have a connection? How do they work?
In July I'm going to visit my relatives in North Carolina. I will be flying from Buffalo to Raleigh, but all the flights from Buffalo to Raleigh have a connection. I'm 16 and it will be my first time flying alone so I'm sort of nervous about it especially the connection. My parents are going to book either U.S. Airways with a connection in Charlotte or Southwest with a connection in Baltimore. I don't understand how connections work though. When I get to the connection city, do I stay on the plane while some get off and new passengers get on, or do I get off and go to another plane? If I go to another plane, do I have to pick up my bags from the baggage claim or do they take it straight to the other plane?
Air Travel - 6 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
You'll switch planes. When you exit, you'll already be in the right area -- you won't have to go through security again, or anything. You will just have to head to your gate number and weight. Usually you have way more time than you need -- it should only take ten to fifteen minutes. You might want to take that time to grab some food at the airports, they'll be located in that same area. Your luggage will be taken care of for you; you won't have to deal with that.
2 :
When you start your trip, your baggage will be ticketed through to your final destination. In your case, you will have just one connecting flight. If the connecting flight is on a different airlines, when you get off the first airplane, you will proceed to the terminal gate for the ongoing flight. Your best bet is to show your ticket to one of the flight attendants on the first plane, they are all very familiar with the airport layouts and will be happy to assist you.
3 :
You'll want to listen closely when they make the announcement of the plane's destination. Usually, a connection means you change planes, but if they say "continuing on to Raleigh" that means you stay on the plane. If you have to change, you'll have a separate boarding pass; just look for the arrival/departure board in the terminal and go to the gate that matches your flight number.
4 :
Little secret .In the airlines in flight magazine located in the seat pocket in front of you there is always a gate diagram for the airports that they fly into. So on approach they will tell you what gate you will be arriving at and what gate your connecting flight will be leaving from. Look it up on the map and figure out where you gotta go. Some airports like O'Hare & Dallas Fort Worth can be a real challenge to make a connection in under 30 minutes. Usually what happens is that you make the connection but your luggage doesn't When your folks book the flight ask them to leave an hour for connection times. If you're checking baggage make sure it that the proper airline codes are on you claim checks Southwest will look llike this BWI -RDU US Air will look like this CLT -RDU Have fun
5 :
okay its pretty simple, when you make a connection you have to get off the plane, find the other plane thats going to take you raleigh. dont worry about your luggage cause that goes directly to the plane you are going to board... so basically your just looking for the plane thats going to take you to raleigh. theres nothing to it. Make sure your getting on the correct flight... if you cant find the flight to raleigh look at the information screens near the gates and you will see all the departures on the screen and it will tell you where to go.
6 :
Connecting flights generally work as follows: a) you have to disembark at the connecting point and go to the plane that will bring you to the final destination. b) your luggage can be checked through, so you do not have to take it from one plane to another - just pick it up at your final destination. As for the airports: take the connection via Charlotte. It's probably one of the most user friendly airports in the U.S.A. and is probably much easier to navigate than any other. And one thing: airline people are generally helpful. Don't be afraid to ask if you need something or don't understand something.
