Take Part

TakePart is a content-driven social action network driving citizen engagement, social action, and positive change on big issues like clean water, education reform, and environmental protection. This program encourages everyone to do their part by providing numerous ways to get involved in worthy causes, whether it’s volunteering for a local organization, making a donation, or voting for a charity to receive additional funding. TakePart is driven by the idea that a good story well told can inspire people to take small steps that drive big changes.

At TakePart.com you can explore today’s issues and decide for yourself where and how you would like to take action. You can vote to help decide which charities will receive funding. And every three months, five charities will be chosen to receive $200,000 each. There are dozens of worthy causes among a diverse group of categories like Arts & Culture, Community Development, Environment & Wildlife, Education, and Health & Wellness. You can also find the right volunteer opportunity for both your heart and your schedule through Volunteer Match. This program is designed to match volunteers with opportunities that meet their interests and availability and reward them for their time.

The website currently highlights five young women who prove that age is not a barrier in making a difference. From magic soccer balls that can power towns to an orphanage in Nepal that is saving lives, the projects from these young women inspire a whole new faith in the upcoming generation. Getting involved in something you feel passionate about is critical to making a positive impact in the world. TakePart will help inform, inspire, and activate you with tools to really make a difference.
