Mozilla has sent out a call for volunteers for their service week, taking place September 14-21. If you're reading this blog, you likely have a skill that can be put to use helping folks out with their tech needs. So, why not put it to use?

Here's how (from the Mozilla blog):

• Choose from a list of service opportunities: Search our partner sites (Idealist & betterplace.org) for a volunteer opportunity near you or anywhere around the world! Our site is now available in Spanish, Italian, French and German as well!
• Take part in “Earth Day for the Web”: We’ve partnered with OneWebDay on September 22nd, which aims to celebrate and preserve the Web as an important commons accessible to everyone. This year’s theme is “Digital Inclusion” and there will be local service events that you can join!
• Create your own: Reach out to a local school, organization or people near you to find out what sort of technology help they need. Here are some examples:
  • William Reynolds of the University of Virginia is going to teach his student council how to use social media to better communicate with students.
  • Tim Hogan and The Royal Order design firm are helping the Tutor/Mentor Connection in Chicago rearchitect and redesign their current site.
  • William D. of the UK is creating a guide on how the Internet can benefit people of different age groups, different career paths and different levels of technical knowledge.
• Follow our lead: If you need an idea of how to help we’re providing a series of simple activities that can help make the Web better. First up is an “Internet Health Check” with easy steps on how to keep people safe on the Web. We’ll roll out more in the coming weeks!
