SCCADV
I've been working with the Suffolk County Coalition for about two months now as an intern. Organizations like these are great because they usually offer up lots of intern, and volunteer opportunities for all age groups. Way way highschoolers were helping out a few weeks ago was by typing up submissions for the "Express This!" Contest. That's a contest for children from 4th grade to 12th grade responding to the question "Stand By or Take Action": What would you do if you saw someone being bullied?
They have a great anti-bullying program too, with an great educator and a group of volunteers who go around the community (school, churches, offices, etc.) acting out different scenes of bullying, domestic violence, dating violence, work violence, etc. Really helps to show people what these terms actually mean, and how and where to get help if they are being affected by it or have a friend, relative or just someone they know who is.
There are always great opportunities out there for everyone, just have to keep an eye out for them!
