#52tuesdays: Time to DO GOOD

"Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation’s compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain loving one another." ~Erma Bombeck

SHARE Charlotte partners with more than 400 nonprofits that all serve Mecklenburg County. While they all serve different people and causes in our community, they all have one thing in common: slim operating budgets necessitating a need for volunteers to help.

SHARE Charlotte Encourages Volunteerism with DO GOOD Week, Powered by Duke Energy

(CHARLOTTE, N.C.) – SHARE Charlotte’s second annual DO GOOD Week, powered by Duke Energy, is underway in the Queen City. DO GOOD Week is a celebration of volunteerism during National Volunteer Week (April 15-21) and a call to action for community engagement with local nonprofit organizations through volunteer work.

DO GOOD Week: Administrative Opportunities

If you are an organized individual who is ready to jump right into any task at hand, taking on an administrative/clerical volunteer position may be for you!

There is not a nonprofit office in the world that couldn’t use another set of hands on any given day - there is ALWAYS something to be done in the world of philanthropy.

DO GOOD Week: Mentoring Opportunities

If you are someone who truly believes you can make an impact on someone’s life simply by lending a little guidance, you may want to consider becoming a mentor.

There will always be a need for mentors in the community, whether it is for a child who needs tutoring, or an adult who needs support. If you desire to help others directly, mentoring someone in need is a valuable use of your time.

DO GOOD Week: Board Positions

If you possess leadership abilities and are able to commit to a longer-term position, becoming a Board Member for a local nonprofit might be a great way for you to get involved in your community.


Not only would you be building your resume by sitting on the board of a nonprofit, but your existing resume and relevant life experience may be just what an organization needs to drive them forward.
