Spud’s Thoughts:
Points of Light has been offering really great programming over the years for folks passionate about service and social change. I don’t personally know anyone involved with the organization, but have had enough trusted friends recommend their work to me. They do partner with Village Capital, another incredible organization, to help deliver the programming for their events I believe.
