I'm 30.5 Years Old and want to do something for my country.?

Question

Any ideas on where to look?

I'm for the most part a weakling so I think the military is out (for both our sakes) And I already have a full time job I'd like to keep. What are my options?

Answer 1

Try the civil air patrol.  They offer training.  You can assist with disasters or searches.

Answer 2

Research 9/11.

Answer 3

There are so many things that you can do right in your local community including grass roots campaigning, helping at the boys and girls club, help building a habitat for humanity house, work at the local food shelter, and the list goes on and on.

Answer 4

Volunteer at local school or any community center/nonprofit.

you don't have to make a 'big splash' to make a huge difference.

sometimes being a 'pebble-in-a-pond' may have positive 'rippling' effect.

Answer 5

Look into joining the coast guard.

Answer 6

The national guard is always looking for new members, as are dozens of other organizations. If you really wanted to make a difference on a local level, find out when the salvation army in your community is doing X-mas and Thanksgiving dinner and arrange to be apart of that. I've done that for a few years and the people who come are genuinely grateful for the food (for many of them it's the first hot meal they've eaten in days).

Answer 7

There are numerous things you could start to do:

Volunteer at a food bank and give food out to the low income

Contact local churchs and volunteer

Donate to charties, they help our country

Answer 8

Run for some kind of public office.  Even school board would be a start.
