Catchafire – We introduced you to founder Rachael Chong and her amazing and innovative take on volunteering, but let’s refresh. Catchafire pairs busy professionals with volunteer opportunities that fit their interests…and schedules. From site design to press kits, you can help based on your passion, and Catchafire ensures the best match (for you and the organization) is made every time. Right now this start-up is limited to New York City, but with the success it’s seeing, we’re sure it’s coming to a city near you soon enough.

Post a CommentI’m volunteering at a wine event this month.
Hey ladies,
Are there any other organizations you’re a part of that you’d like us to call out to? We’re mentioning them all on our Twitter and would love to hear from more of you! Happy volunteering!
*PROJECT LADYBUG* is an incredible cause – helping children with cancer. Dina Manzo (former “Real Housewives of NJ” star) created and directs this organization. Volunteer or donate your time! @ http://www.projectladybug.org
Hey Amber,
We usually don’t allow external links but in the spirit of National Volunteer Week and because we love the work Project Ladybug does, it can stay. Keep up the great work!
