Many organizations offer volunteer opportunities, but may require a serious time commitment; take this into consideration when selecting which organization to support. Charities and special-interest groups and organizations are also a great way to connect with like-minded men and women. Many of the non-profit helping organizations -- such as The American Red Cross, The American Cancer Society, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, or The Multiple Sclerosis Society -- wouldn't be able to provide services to those in need without their dedicated volunteers. The rewards for helping others really can't be measured. You'll experience a genuine feeling of self-worth and of real usefulness -- valuable indeed if you're going through a difficult separation or divorce. Better yourself Life after divorce can be emotionally as well as physically exhausting. Depending on your unique situation and needs, a retreat, some exercise, or education could work wonders for your health, your peace of mind, and your social life. If you feel good about yourself, it shows -- and that makes you much more attractive to others. What's the best kind of exercise? The one you enjoy doing, because you'll actually do it. If you'd like the opportunity to meet people while getting or staying fit, choose a group activity such as co-ed volleyball, skiing, hiking, or a biking club. If you're feeling self-conscious about your athletic ability, choose a more relaxed "fun" team or club. Don't choose a sport you hate just because you think you'll meet more potential dates; if you're having a lousy time, you're going to be lousy company. Another way to improve yourself, and increase your opportunities to meet people, is to take some classes. You can study almost any subject in the world, from academic subjects (such as history, philosophy, literature, and psychology) to yoga to desktop publishing. You can learn how to play the stock market or how to play chess, fix your car or bake bread. The Learning Annex and the Seminar Centers in your area offer great classes on a variety of subjects. There are even classes on how to find your soulmate! Your classmates will be people like you: they'll be interested in knowing more about an intriguing topic, and might just be hoping to meet new people and develop new friends.
