One of my main motivations in publishing a Blog is to pass things along -- ideas, inspiration, resources... and info about causes I think help make the world a better place.

Check out Doing Good Together -- a nonprofit focused on family volunteering. The home page will tell you it's a secret way to get time with your kids or grandchildren and, in the process, "provide an antidote to our culture's messages of competition, self-absorption and m aterialism."

You can find a wealth of free resources on the website. You can order Jenny Friedman's book, Doing Good Together: The Business Family's Guide to Volunteering. And you can read stories about the difference DGT and involved families are making. It would be a great site to share through your company intranet or links to online resources.

Share Other Worthy Causes

In honor of Martin Luther King Day (Jan. 19), Seth Godin issued a challenge: "If every person in the US spent one hour doing something selfless, useful and leveraged, what would happen?" [And the world?] In the post he suggested 18 ways to respond. One of those suggestions is to profile worthy nonprofits on blogs. Telling you about Doing Good Together is my first shot.

Are there worthy organizations you support that you'd be willing to share through Brian@GrowthWorks? Follow the Blog links and leave me a comment there, or email me at bmcdermott@growthworksinc.com.
