A non-profit in St. Paul just removed a volunteer project in late September from our calendar because they had too many volunteers. Gad-zooks, to be that popular! There are so many volunteer projects going on all the time in the Twin Cities, that to have one be filled a month in advance is a testament to how volunteery Minnesotans really are.

Of course, our friends in St. Paul are the exception, not the rule. We have dozens of one-time volunteer service projects listed on our website that could use your help. If you want to get involved in your community, have fun, and meet new people, but you can't make a big commitment because of [thousands of reasons] , these service projects are perfect for you. All you have to do is find a day on our calendar that works for you, and sign up. Making a difference in your community is ridiculously easy, thanks to our project calendar. Here's a sample of some events in the Twin Cities that need volunteers in the next month:

• Hope Anniversary Block Party
• Revitalize North Minneapolis/Fall Rebuilding Projects
• Great Waters Charity Golf Tournament
• Peace, Power, and Unity Conference (interpreters especially needed)
• The Girlfriend event
• The Ivey Awards
• Project Homeless Connect

This is just a sampling of the many volunteer projects going on in the Twin Cities. So many, in fact, that you have no excuse for not doing at least one of them. For more, check out our project calendar.
