Find a cause you are excited about. It is easier to donate your time to something you feel strongly about. Whatever cause you decide on, you will likely be able to find something to suit your passion.
Decide where you want to go. You have lots of options including staying close to home, going out-of-state and going to another country. There are plenty of opportunities for spring break volunteers wherever you choose to go.
Get your friends involved. For example, a trip to the Gulf Coast to help victims of Hurricane Katrina will be much more fun with your best buddy by your side.
Make new friends wherever you go. Volunteering doesn't have to be boring and your experience will be much more valuable if you connect with some of the locals.
