I’m looking to start doing some charity work this year, but not sure where to get started. Something I could do a few times a month. Anybody have tips on where to start or potential opportunities?

America Needs You is a fantastic organization that supports promising, low-income, first generation college students with professional development. They have opportunities for drop-in mentors a few times a month and it plugs you into a great network of passionate, dedicated young professionals in Chicago (including many consultants). Feel free to DM if interested in more info.

If you're female I highly recommend the Junior League of Chicago! A great organization that allows you to see a lot of different community organizations and lean in where you have most interest.

Big brothers / sisters of Chicago is what I do. I enjoy having a significant positive impact on 1 person that I have built a relationship with vs. helping many people less personally. Just personal preference though

Thank! I’ll check it out

Do you feel you have enough time to devote? I was interested in it, but felt like traveling and only being available 1 day a week wouldn’t be fair to them

If you’re interested, you should reach out and set up a conversation with someone who works for the foundation. They’d be happy to walk you through it

Onebrick is good if you're looking for something easy to sign up for that doesn't have any time commitment... Its an organization that "does the leg work" finding opportunities and all you do is sign up and go.

Has anyone used a surrogate? If yes, how did you find them and would you recommend the experience? I really want kids and have not yet started trying to have them naturally but the idea of pregnancy and birth are absolutely terrifying me. I’m sure everyone is nervous about it but my fear is getting bigger and bigger and I just turned 30 so I’m hearing my biological clock ticking.

Has anyone else gone back to relying more on public transportation with the surging Uber / Lyft prices. Trips to and from ohare are costing me about as much as the plane tickets themselves, and even simple things like meeting a friend for dinner in another neighborhood ends up costing around $80 in transportation costs. I haven’t taken buses and trains much since I’ve graduated but now it just feels like I’m throwing money out the window by not making the switch back.
