Extend Yourself is a new media platform that convenes different causes in the Philippines. Using the power of the Internet and other new media tools, Extend Yourself aims to actively promote the existence, advocacies and activities of different organizations available in the country while providing a convenient access to people who would like to know more about an organization, volunteer and participate.

Extend Yourself currently features five different causes that are initially embodied by five different organizations:

1. Education Scholarship - ''Help send kids to school and allow underprivileged students immediately create impact for their own communities. Make a difference. Support the HiHo education scholarship program.''

2. Environment Protection - O''ur planet is our home. Help in the conservation of nature by joining environmentally relevant causes like WWF Philippines.''

3. Humanitarian Services - ''We cannot look away and pretend we cannot do anything for our countrymen in need. Help victims of calamities by joining organizations like the Philippine Red Cross.''

4. Food Sufficiency Program - ''Food sufficiency is key to eradicate hunger in our country. The poor need not be hungry if they can fend for themselves. Help in advocating sustainable food production solutions by joining groups like GK Bayan-Anihan and allow poor families to turn from dependence to self-sufficiency.''

5. Fight the Effects of Climate Change - ''We can find solutions to the problems presented by climate change by developing sustainable and disaster-resistant housing for communities in tropical urban settings. Join My Shelter Foundation and participate in the creation of the first green and disaster-resistant community in the country.''

Taking action and extending oneself to make this world a better place to live in is now easier. Extend Yourself encourages more people to get involved.
