Its a study that looks at how people evaluate social science research and make desisions. It takes 30-40 minutes.

Sure. Are you doing the study for a class in psychology research methods?

I do volunteer work for a group that is non-profit and mails educational books to people in prison across the country. We are looking for new volunteers to replace some that have moved away, gotten busy with other things, etc.

What is an innovative way to get people interested in volunteering with us?

You need to appeal to the younger generation, because today all young people want something good to put on their resume.

I would print up some flyers (remembering to print on them that volunteer work looks great on a resume) and ask highschool principals and college deans if you can hang some in their school.

Some schools even give school credits to kids who volunteer a certain # of hrs., so that appeals to them also with having to spend less time in the classroom.

Good luck!

I want to become president but how do i get there?

Help, i am an african american convict who originated from kenya.
I used to volunteer for a racist black church. i used to sing hallelujah and Ghetto Gospel in church. I eat fried chicken, cornbread, and koolaid regularly. I have a 40bottle right next to me right now and some weed in my 1988 broke down Buick right now with some 22inch rims but cant afford my smog check. My highest education level is 7th-8th grade but At the age of 13 and was sent to prison for 25 years for murder but only served 8 years. So how do i become president? I know i will get alot of votes from black people because i am black. So is it possible for me to become president or FBI? I am 22 years old now. Do i just go back to my middle school for more education before applying to become a president? Can i get the president’s job application at the welfare and housing center?

PS. my 4 year old son told me before the election, "vote for obama daddy!" i was so proud he wanted me to vote for obama just because he’s black. Now we’re going to have the greatest president who’s going to mock america by going into the 09 presidency while using his full name Barrack Hussein Obama. I bet the terriosts in the middle east are having a grenade party right now.

bush won twice!
so any idiot can win!

Has anyone volunteered at a daycare center before? Did you enjoy it? What was your experience like? What did you enjoy/hate most/least?

You might not be able to pick up the kids(its a state law)
but you can help set up at lunch, play with them etc…

It is a great expernice and helps you get a job later on,
