Have you ever wanted to give your time or money to an organization but felt like it was too much out of your price range or hard for you to find opportunities ? There are many resources out there such as our office, The Center for Urban Connections that will help you find Volunteering and Engagement opportunities in the Denver community. You might also be looking for ways to donate to an organization since it might be a difficult with school and work. The article that I found gives simple ways to donate designed for young individuals that are interested in social change or helping out their community. An example of one idea is to create or grow a giving circle with friends, co-workers and family. When a person combines money with others it allows them to support an organization and live within your comforts of one's means. As we approach the holiday season, it can be a challenge. As students, we may not be able to always give what we feel to an organization, but by volunteering a couple days during the holidays and/or creating a giving circle with friends it forms one into a young philanthropist who could grow and prosper a community of social change and awareness.
