I've raised at least two incredible, outspoken, concerned young women who have big mouths just like me and I'm working on a third, lol.
I've done some presidential campaign volunteering.
I've given away lots of money: Amnesty Int'l, Oxfam, CARE, Habitat for Humanity, IRC and many others, including a lot of 'hand-outs' to the homeless folk downtown.
The big one will be my nursing career, though. I intend to make good use of what I learn through local volunteer work and, once my youngest daughter is grown, I intend to volunteer my service to an international aid organization.
