Nothing wrong with a little idealism...
FACT: I am an idealist. I love getting involved, educating myself on global issues and being a part of the growing movement to make a difference in the world we live in today. One of my favourite places to get up-to-date on all of these things all over the world is a website called Idealist.
Idealist is the place were people from all over the world are able to bring together their ideas, their opportunities, and to search out other like minded people. The site contains a blog that is regularly updated with all kinds of interesting news in the world of activism, allows people to create personal and volunteer profiles and has an extensive database of jobs, internships, volunteer opportunites, events, and many other opportunities! Further more, the range of topics is wide covering everything from poverty, global education, women's issues, the environment... The list goes on and on!
If I sound excited, it's because I am.
In the world of PR, social media and networking tools are huge. If you're in non-profit, this is an excellent tool. Organizations can start up a profile, post events, advertise and instantly connect with literally thousands of eager social activists from around the world. Not only that, the site gives people with a specific common interest an informative forum to meet, discuss and rally to action in one convenient place.
If social activism is your thing, this place is highly recommended. Check it out, sign up and start networking!

I checked out the Idealist website, and it looks really interesting! I can't believe I haven't heard of it before. Thanks for such a great link.
