1. Find others working on your issues and in your area
WiserEarth is an online community space that maps and connects organizations and individuals addressing the central issues of our day: climate change, poverty, the environment, peace, water, hunger, social justice, conservation, human rights and more.
Here you will find:
The WiserEarth Directory: The world's largest free and editable international directory of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and socially responsible organizations (more than 110,000 in 243 countries, territories, and sovereign islands).
The WiserEarth Community: A vibrant and growing community of over 30,000 members making connections, sharing knowledge, resources, solutions, jobs, and events.
The WiserEarth Groups:More than 1,500 groups where people engage in discussion, post and share resources, and collaborate on projects.
Find out quickly and easily who is working on what and where using:
WiserEarth Taxonomy: The world's most detailed classification of issue areas related to social justice and environmental restoration. The taxonomy acts as the backbone to the site by linking all of the organization, people and information you will find on the site.
Search: Just add in any keyword into the search box in the top right hand of the screen. And click search.
Proximity Map: Easily locate the people and organizations doing good work near you by putting in your location.
"We Recommend": As you join and participate more in WiserEarth, we make it easy for you to discover people, organization and information most relevant to issues you care about, and the place and community you live in.

"OH MY GOD THIS SITE IS AMAZING!!!!!"
"I can't wait to explore it more, as I've just begin to skim the surface, but I've been wanting there to be a site that lists organizations all over the world like this based on categories, linking them to each other and finding ways of helping people network."
" Not only is it an amazing educational tool, but it provides resources for people wanting to get plugged in who don't know how to find these groups."
"Whether someone wants to volunteer in their community, needs help researching for their thesis, or wants to find a group doing specific work in a foreign country they want to go delve into, it's all here and REALLY well done!!! Kudos!"
