Volunteering Made Simple

What if volunteering could be as fun—and as convenient—as playing an online game? That’s the idea behind the Extraordinaries. This new micro-volunteering platform turns little bits of spare time into good deeds. With a web connection or smart phone and a few extra minutes, you can tag photos for the Smithsonian, map neighborhood playgrounds, send a study tip to a student in India, or share your creative ideas about reducing global warming.
