One of the best sites you can use for connecting with other do-gooders is Idealist.org. I've been a member since it started years ago. We get a few jobs every years, a ton of resumes and often even hire them (ala Jeanie!).
I always suggest this site to folks looking for places for jobs and even spots to volunteer. I know we've gotten a number of people to volunteer for our own nonprofit through the site.
I'm most excited about the amazing book they've recently published, Idealist.org Handbook to Building a Better World. I love it so much that I got one for every camper this year. It's the kind of book that is good for anyone, regardless of what stage of life and/or do-gooding you are at. It's a resource guide of tools and inspiration for people who want to make a difference but don't know where to begin. And at $10 you can't beat the price.
