"Young" people looking for a way to give back can consider joining their local Active 20-30 club, a service organization that raises money for various children's charities while working to help members improve their leadership skills.

It's called 20-30 because they kick you out when you turn 40. This keeps it a young group, allowing people in their 20's and 30's to get leadership experience. Often times older people can dominate clubs. In our area, people who graduate from 20-30 often go on to the Lions club.

20-30 is part of a larger set of international organizations and is a great, sometimes life-changing experience. I highly recommend it. And if you don't happen to have a club in your area, consider starting one.
