Other organizations such as the Peace Corps or AmeriCorps?

Question

I am interested in a year of service after graduating before going on to law school, and I was trying to find an organization that was more hands-on than the two mentioned above. These organizations are more about setting up a poverty network than physically helping people in poverty, from what I have read anyway, and I am interested in something more direct. Any suggestions, tips, advice? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Check out the American Friends Service Committee for volunteer opportunites at home and abroad. They are very good. <www.afsc.org> and see this link for ideas on what to do with your life after high school.<>.http://www.afsc.org/itsmylife/>. Habitat for Humanity is another good organization with hands on programs.

Good for you and good luck in your future!
