A former student of mine is now working at the Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association (GLASA). They provide sporting events for people who need the sport modified in a way so that they can compete, such as wheelchair basketball. Here is a video about one of their athletes:
If you are interested in sports or physical therapy or special ed, this may be a great opportunity for you.
They have a 5K fundraiser coming up that you can volunteer for by clicking here.

Service Op: Feeding the needy at St. Thomas October 13th, 2015
Tuesday October 13, 2015, we can take 5 students from each class to the St. Thomas Soup Kitchen. If there is a large interest, I will have a lottery for students interested. However, you can always reserve a spot for yourself and friends or family on another day by clicking the link below and calling them. Usually we meet at 3:10 in the lower east commons. We take a bus together and return by 8. 
There is a church in Chicago called St. Thomas of Canterbury. They generously and humbly serve hundreds of meals to those in need each year. From their website:

Our Soup Kitchen is open every Tuesday and Friday throughout the year, except on Christmas Day. We currently serve 175 to 200 people each time. The doors are open to guests from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.Jim Eder has been running the soup kitchen for years and he is a really great guy. If interested in volunteering, call Christine, the volunteer scheduler at 773-878-5507. Be sure to visit their volunteering link here for more info.
Volunteer activities include the preparation of meals, setting the tables, serving the meals to our seated guests and, of course, cleaning up!
