Community organizations offer organization, non profit, group, develop, local and naitonal, association, centers, health, family, reform, leadership, rehabilitation, behavioral, donation and other services and programs. The next step is checking out their services and matching it to your needs. See whether they offer what you are looking for. For instance you need a community group who specialize in social education and research. One of the organizations you find specializes in social studies and also offers resources for research. The other offers services for international and immigrants who need support and general education within this society. Obviously the first choice is more suitable for you as it specializes more with what you are searching for. The next stage is looking for their physical locations. Ask whether they are near by, how many days do they offer this service? Do you have to pay? How many hours per week do they have meetings? Ask as many questions as possible research their background to make sure you are in good hands. If you are looking to actually have a career as a community organizer, it can be a great option if you are concerned about social inequities, interested in community solutions and empowering people. Researching this can also take some time, but you can discover your way through some sort of organizing or activist effort in your own community. Afterward you can discover that there are actually jobs and a profession in community organizing. By knowing what questions to ask, you should be able to find the non profit, develop, local or national community organization that is best for you.
