New Volunteer/Networking Community

So, unbeknownst to most of the world, Tech Crunch Disrupt went down last weekend. One of the events there is the hack-a-thon. The hack-a-thon brings together some of the country's best hackers to pull an all-nighter, sponsored by Red Bull.

Out of this hack-a-thon came a website, Iwannavolunteer.org. We at Cloud 9, found out about this website while looking for new hot start-ups exhibiting at TC Disrupt (gotta keep up with modern tech).
Iwannavolunteer.org was born of Patriot Media, LLC, headquartered in Avon, Connecticut. Here's their brief description,"Instantly find volunteer opportunities near you! Search today, this week, this month... Put your extra time to good use wherever you may be." The service is made for organizations, or individuals that can post localized volunteer opportunities; then volunteers log on to see what new ways they can serve their communities.

We at Cloud 9 always advocate community services and charitable giving. We believe that giving away money is just as important as saving and investing it. It helps others that aren't as privileged as we are, and it provides financial perspective about our own financial means. Check out this site, it's brand new and we support it. I Wanna Volunteer
