Volunteering and Television

Are you an avid TV watcher? It's OK to admit it - I am too. 

Well next week, some of your favorite shows will be featuring themes around volunteering and community service.

More than 90 primetime shows on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and several cable channels will be highlighting volunteering next week in their episodes as part of iParticipate.  iParticipate is a national initiative of the Entertainment Industry Foundation that will show the ways that individuals can help their neighbors.

The hope of this campaign is that the story lines on volunteering will reach the millions of viewers tuning in and help generate more interest in volunteering in their local communities and neighborhoods. 

So check out your favorite shows, see if they took part in the iParticipate campaign.  Then log on to the Save The Bay website or any of the other links on the left column to find service opportunities in your area!
