Interested in volunteering, giving or interning with a great local charity? GreatNonprofits.org released today its first ever list of top-rated nonprofits in San Bruno, which Patch.com readers can use to discover top-rated nonprofits to give or work with on issues they care about.

“Local giving and volunteering has exploded in recent years,” says Perla Ni, the CEO of GreatNonprofits, which published the list. GreatNonprofits is the leading site for nonprofit reviews by volunteers, donors, and clients alike. “Like Shop local, eat local, people now want to get involved with local nonprofits. People are increasingly interested in making meaningful connections in their own neighborhoods and communities.

Check out this list to find a great non-profit in San Bruno.

The list of 91 top-rated nonprofits in the San Bruno area offers a wide variety of organizations.

If your favorite nonprofit isn’t on the list, you can help add to this community resource and help others discover great local nonprofits by writing and posting a review on GreatNonprofits.org.  Not only does this provide useful feedback for organizations, which they can use for self-assessment and improvement, but it serves as compelling evidence about their work, which they can show to donors.

It is also a great way to find out about volunteer, internship, and job opportunities at local nonprofits.

“It’s so rewarding for people to discover on-the-ground, maybe lesser-known nonprofits doing great work in their own communities,” said Ni. “Getting involved, volunteering or interning with local nonprofits can be a terrific experience, because nonprofits need and appreciate the help. You can get substantive responsibilities and hone real-world skills. And you'll be able to make a difference and see it in your own community!"

The full list over 1 million nonprofits, which users can explore using zip code, issue, and rating filters, is available at greatnonprofits.org.

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
