Career Guidance Holiday Gift Idea #1: Donorschoose.org

This holiday season, consider helping young people explore careers and find rewarding career options through charitable donations.  What is that tired but true proverb... "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime." Well, all of us must agree that financially sustaining work that one enjoys is a gift worth giving.

Over the next month or so, I'm going to trickle out a few career guidance related gift ideas.

Idea #1:
Donorschoose.org
"An online charity connecting you with classrooms in need"

On the site, do a search for "career exploration" and you'll come up with lots of career guidance projects needing funding in schools. I like how specific the funding requests are - so you know what you're paying for, and the fact they are vetted for accuracy.
