Good morning everyone,

I am looking to do charity work for one year straight. Starting in February of 2024 my job is giving me a years salary to go do charity work of any sort.

So my question is, what kind of charity needs help around central Pennsylvania, USA?

I know there are soup kitchens and some popular ones like Habitat for Humanity, but how do I help the ones that might not have as many people helping them?

I apologize if this isn't the correct place to post this, I'm still very new to Lemmy.

Thank you

Thank you so much! I looked into charity explorers and I don't think I would be too much of a help for them.

However, the peace corp is something I've never heard of and this seems amazing. I was looking for something local, but this is too amazing to pass up on. Depending on how much time I have in between doing this, I might just volunteer for something local on my own time. Thank you again!

Peace corps is amazing but it's quite a process to get in and I believe it's a 2 year commitment. If you want to do that you'll likely need to quit your job entirely.

I saw that it was a 2 year program but when I dug in a bit more, they have 3-12 options. I was looking at some 7 month programs.
