Backlight is less of a website and more of a community of people who come together to share all their creative works of art whether it be a poem, drawing or even just a word. Backlight gives its users a voice and allows them to share the stories of inspiration behind all of their work. Definitely worth checking out!
Hands On Bay Area is a great site if you are a resident of the Bay Area and have a full schedule with a full time time job but still want to do some volunteer work. All you have to do is register, check out the calendar and sign up right online. The projects vary from passing out food at shelters to cleaning up local beaches. One organization I have been working with that encourages mentally challenged kids to play sports is called KEEN.
With April being Earth Month and next Wednesday being Earth Day with a million and one green sites out there this is one of my favorites, Treehugger. They are dedicated to driving sustainability mainstream and have information on all things green!
Outside Lands! is a huge musical festival that takes place in Golden Gate Park in SF, if you don’t live here buy your plane ticket now because I guarantee it will be worth it. Some of the headliners this year include; Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, Jason Mraz and MIA.
If you ever have something that you are mad about and want us to share with our users feel free to write in and we can feature it! Have a great weekend!
