   Absolutely. Depending upon your skills and your level of involvement, it can be very commendable on one's resume. Additionally, the references you get are unmatched.
   
   On a final note, during the course of your affiliaton you may develop long term connections that may come in handy down the road - sometimes leading to permanent positions.

   I have done several jobs, donating my labor to NON PROFITS. I have found that not only is this a great thing to do, it has brought me several referrals that I never would have gotten had I not.

   Try looking thru CharityGuide (I've listed the link for Illinois - my state, I'm sure you can find other state/city opportunities). Its at least one place to check. Good luck.

   Absolutely! It's just another form of networking plus you are donating your time for a good cause.

   Yes, because you'd be able to meet new people, possible business contacts for your business.

   Sometimes. Depends on the organization. One has to be careful as many non-profits want you to give everything for free. You always should give something back but when times are tough, a little give and take is required.
