Volunteered a bit of my time last night

And I really do mean a bit.  About a week ago, I got online and decided that I wanted to find an organization or two that does work with homeless, poverty stricken families, or kids from low income communities to help them learn about finding work, managing their money, and all that stuff.

I began my search online at volunteermatch.org and idealist.org.  I found a few organizations that sounded really cool, so I emailed about four different organizations.  One contacted me back right away.  They have been around for a few years, but are very much a start up.  The director runs everything out of her apartment.  I'm not sure what will come of that at this point.

Two others have not contacted me.  The other one that wrote back is a group called Chrysalis.  Their mission is exactly what I was looking for.  They do resume, job training, budget and money management classes for homeless and economically disadvantaged individuals and families.
