My teenager is interested in volunteering this summer. Are there web sites that publish information about volunteer positions?
Two of the best volunteer sites are Volunteer Match and Idea List, which allow you to search for positions based on a variety of factors including your cause of interest, and where you live. Also, check out America's Promise, a national organization that helps kids get involved in their local community service. In addition, most of your local nonprofits will likely have a web site that lists their specific volunteer opportunities.

If your two- to three-year-old computer is sluggish, instead of getting a new model, you might just need to add more memory. You can do this yourself -- see your computer maker's web site for instructions about where to install additional memory once you purchase it.
