The One Percent is an organization launched by Public Architecture in 2005, to allow designers and architects to give their time, creativity and care to non-profits in need of costly design services, pro bono.
"1% of an 8 hour work day is 4.8 minutes. Over the course of a 2,080-hour traditional work year, it amounts to just 20 hours per person per year."
Considering that that's the amount of time you spend brushing your teeth, it makes sense that you can also help a brother, lady, doctor, patient, teacher, kid...out.
Even if this isn't for you, I am positive that we were all inspired this week by President-Elect Obama's victory, and I see much more do-gooding coming to an everyone near you.

Ojala!
I like the community-service-in-exchange-for-college-tuition plan he discussed during the campaign.
Germany has something similar but more involved where you can choose a year of military or community service (mandatory).
Exciting. Now I know who I want to work for!
