We need interns to make cold calls to small businesses and corporate companies around the Bay Area to contribute to our awesome super amazing great work. Seriously, it's going to be pretty simple. We tell you what to say, and you dial and tell them about the project, and of course to DONATE.
Here are some of the links you could check out to get a better idea of who we are and what we are trying to accomplish. We've been getting a lot of attention and already had an interview in regards to the performance from a Texas based online music journal, My Denton Music.

What is Entrainment?
It's the magical phenomenon in physics of one atom evoking its "state" in another atom ... a galaxy apart.
How is this possible? How can two atoms share the same state where they're not connected. Physicists attempt to explain it using mind boggling ideas like Quantum Energy.
But we will actually experience it working on Sunday No 15th at the Fort Mason Center.
Join me at 1pm for a free lecture on Entrainment and I will show you how to Entrain positivity and balance in those whom you love ....everywhere.
We will Entrain our loved ones, those who need nurturing, our bodies and each other.
This is a free talk on how Entrainment can be applied to our Relationships, our Health, our Culture, our Undertsanding, our Economy, our Government and our Art
To register just reply to this email and we'll put you on the list - space is limited.
I look forward to spending time with you as we enthrall to this amazing process.

Overseas volunteers in Tanzania and interns participate in two-week to six-month service-learning programs that focus on HIV/AIDS Prevention and Nutrition Education, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security, and International Health. These programs can be experienced through the Community Training, Community Development or Integrated Program formats. GSC also offers a six-month to one-year Seeds of Sustenance (SOS) Fellowship Program for those with an advanced degree in public health, international health or international development. All Tanzania volunteer programs include in-depth cultural orientation and technical training, Swahili lessons, and a safari excursion!
What Our Volunteers Say About Sustainable Agriculture Program
“I enjoyed the project immensely. I am studying international development and environmental studies so to have field experience, all is it brief and armature on my part, has reaffirmed my conviction to these studies. It made me want to return to Tanzania as quickly as possible to continue work in related topics (not to mention reconnect with the powerful ties of friendship I have there).”

Global Service Corp’s international volunteers discover Cambodia by living, working and learning with Cambodian people in their own communities. GSC participants who volunteer abroad with us in Cambodia join the staff of a residential children’s center for orphans or a community-based education program, sharing their time, talents, experience and knowledge with teachers, students and community members.
Living in local accommodations, Cambodia volunteers are immersed in the customs of the local culture by taking part in daily family activities. Evenings and weekends provide time for excursions around the area, seeing artisans at work producing hand-made crafts, visiting temples and museums, and perhaps joining a local festival.
Cambodia Volunteers can choose from a variety of service-learning programs including:
- Teaching HIV/AIDS Prevention and Education
- Orphanage Care in Cambodia
- Teaching English Abroad in Cambodia
- International Health Volunteering
- Integrated Volunteer Programs in Cambodia allow for combining two of more of these programs.

Founded by the Bar Association of San Francisco in 1999, STC is a mentoring program that encourages diverse and at-risk students to go to college and guides them through the college application process. STC works with students in grades 9 through 12 at Balboa High School, one of San Francisco’s most under-resourced and ethnically diverse schools. Over the past ten years, STC has ushered hundreds of students into top-tier universities, thereby reducing the achievement gap and diversifying college campuses nationwide
STC MAKES A DIFFERENCE
STC has been very successful over the years. In 2009, of 152 graduating seniors surveyed, more then 50% of the STC students were accepted into 4-year colleges, universities and private colleges as compared to just 12% of students that did not take advantage of the STC program.
We invite you to be a part of our School-To-College program this Fall. This is great a opportunity to check out the STC program and work with students as they prepare for the college application process. Potential mentors must attend ONE mandatory training session; the training sessions will explain your role as a mentor and train you to better assist students with the college application process. All sessions will be conveniently located at Balboa High School.
Dates and Times mentors are needed
Wednesday – 1:00pm to 5:30pm (For at least an hour)
Thursday – 3:30pm to 5:30pm (For at least an hour)
If being a mentor for School-To-College sounds interesting please send Brandon Butler an email at bbutler@sfbar.org

The main objective of the project is cultural exchange between the volunteers and the local villagers but the participants of the project will also practically work in the communities doing different kinds of support and development works, like renovation of some community spaces or field works and farming with the villagers. The exact nature of the work will depend on the needs of the village at the time of the project.
Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the AFECT campaigns and discover the Akha culture, lifestyle, particularities and problematic situation in Thailand from the inside and from Akha people themselves. An introduction to Akha and Thai language is foreseen.
Special requirements: No special profile is required. Nature lovers, ethnology fans and human rights activists will be particularly interested in this project. Adaptability is required from the participants.
Age range: 18 and over
Project language: English
Leisure time: The free time will be organised according to the weather and the actuality of the communities but in general it will be essentially spent in the community. The volunteers will have the chance to learn about Akha cuisine, massage and specific handicraft. They might have the opportunity to attend traditional Akha ceremonies and events (like the principal Harvest celebration in March). If the weather permits it, trekking in the hills can also be foreseen.
New years Eve, according to the Thai Buddhist calendar takes place in April. The volunteers in the April group will have the great chance to attend the ceremonies and festivities in the village with the local population.
Accommodation: The volunteers will be hosted by the villagers in the communities where they will work. The conditions will be the same as for the Akhas themselves: very basic compared to urban Thailand, but very authentic. Do not expect occidental luxuries in any case.
Location: The project will be held in the Chiang Rai region (North-west Thailand) and the surrounding mountains all the way to the Golden Triangle borders, maybe one of the most beautiful locations in Thailand! The influence of the hill tribes and nearby Burma, Laos and China shapes the culture here.

(beyond what might end up being due to investors) to help prevent war, increase democracy, and save the planet. Since revenues could reach $10mm/mo, this startup could have substantial impact --could do an immense amount of good for millions and millions of people.

Our BusinessPlan was one of the finalists in a major BP competition.

But wait, what is Hyphen might you ask?
Hyphen is a national magazine for urban, in-the-know Asian Americans. Covering arts, culture and politics with substance, style and sass, Hyphen has become a media must for one of the fastest growing populations in America.
Hyphen was conceived in 2003 by San Francisco Bay Area journalists and community leaders who saw the need for a publication about Asian America that would go beyond Lucy Liu, sushi and yet another examination of the "model minority" story. With award-winning design and fresh perspectives that aren't just about identity issues, Hyphen covers the artists and change-makers who are shaping what it means to be Asian American. By showcasing people outside the boundaries of stereotypes, Hyphen acts as a cultural catalyst, inspiring its readership to branch out — to do, think and create.
Hyphen is not-for-profit and run entirely by volunteers. The hundreds of hours spent by writers, artists, editors, designers, web gurus, bloggers, [fill in the blank] coordinators, and other lackeys all unpaid. It's a labor of love.
BUSINESS TEAM
Hyphen is looking for smart, overachieving, creative, articulate, innovative, detailed-oriented and above all, dedicated members to join its Business Team. We are interested in social justice issues, politics and pop culture. There is no money involved, just the experience of working alongside the finest Asian American minds that community college ever produced.
General Duties & Responsibilities:
· Commit to attending meetings (two Tuesdays a month)
· Lend your hand to existing projects, such as advertising and sponsorship efforts, and event planning
· Brainstorm for the good of the magazine
· Lead new initiatives from start to finish (and take over others should you wish)
· Table at Hyphen sponsored events
· Sport our merchandise because it's in fashion every season
Knowledge and Skills:
· Proven human intelligence, don't worry we won't poke you to see if you respond to stimuli
· Team player, and not a lone wolf
· Self-motivated, hard-working ethic
· Post-identity politicked
· Down for the cause but not obsessed by it
· Not easily offended or dissuaded by hard-asses
· Loves culture, your momma and self (not in that order)
In a nutshell, we're looking for non-flaky folks landlocked to the San Francisco Bay Area. Those interested should submit a resume to hung@hyphenmagazine.com and fill out a questionnaire that we will provide you then.

On a typical Saturday at the market in 2007, more than one hundred 45-gallon garbage bags were sent to the landfill each week. Empty coffee cups, orange peels, glass bottles and paper plates were wasted at an alarming rate. Earth Day 2008, we introduced the 3 bin system found throughout SF. Now, over 90% of our waste is either recycled or composted. Volunteers help monitor each station to ensure everything goes to the right place. Sounds gross, however it's quite entertaining, you meet a lot of nice folks and you rarely handle any of the waste yourself. You'll simply answer questions and help the occasional shopper find the right bin for their coffee cup/apple core/soda can/whatever. There's a quick orientation before you start, and we'll provide materials and refreshments.
We need volunteers this Saturday, November 14th, from 10am to 2pm. We'll provide materials, refreshments and training.

We’re looking for savvy people to help test our new site and offer feedback. In return, we'll give you a $25 GivingCard from donorschoose.org to help fund a selected local school project. Reply to this post with your full name and email address, so we can get you started.
