Get on the bus already

The Do Good Bus is one of those simple, genius ideas the world needs more of. Sign up, get on a bus, and do good. The best part? Where you’re going and what you’ll do is always a secret.

Participants are wined and dined en route, then end up somewhere doing something useful—volunteering in a homeless shelter, helping build a school, guerrilla gardening. You never know what you’re going to do. You just know you’re being helpful to people in a community.

The mystery element is clever: it removes the barrier of choosing, and turns volunteering into an adventure.
