As Jade so eloquently illustrates, access to the arts — and to arts education — positively changes lives all over the globe. What an inspiring piece by Jade. We are very lucky to benefit from her creativity and leadership on the board of the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative.

Thanks to the Catalogue of Philanthropy of Greater Washington for connecting so many dots to create a network of giving and doing that strengthens DC communities!

Volunteering is becoming so much more central to everyday life — something people really think about and expect to do — in a way that wasn’t always true. But what a great development! The recommendations here about researching volunteer programs are great, and especially important if you are making the huge commitment to travel abroad.

For those of you who want to try it at home, check out the volunteer opportunities at Catalogue nonprofits by clicking the volunteer links on the pages of organizations that interest you. However you do it, volunteering can be an incredibly rewarding experience.

Great photos, Jade!
