Ways for MENSA Members to Give Back
July 9th, 2011
If you’re a MENSA member you know what it means to think hard. Whether or not you use your talents there’s a world of opportunity out there just waiting for your skills and knowledge. Here are a few of the ways you can put your intelligence to good use and give back to your community.
Help city planners – Even with little experience, you’ll be welcomed into any busy city planning office. Come up with some novel ideas for transportation or crime solutions in your area and present them to the appropriate people – decision makers respect MENSA.
Help the elderly – Spend some time with the elderly; their old age means wisdom as well as poor health. If you can, help them with everyday things like comparing electric companies in the area or shopping for groceries. Human interaction is a tenant of a growing mind.
Volunteer at a High School – If you like kids, give back some of your blessings and talk to kids about a subject that interests you. Help organize a physics club or a pre-med curriculum or simply spend some time mentoring and tutoring at a local school. You’ll be glad you did.
