Great list. I’d add Suited for Change as well. It’s a grassroots effort that helps low income DC women with interview skills and business attire. They are located in McPherson Square. Check it out: http://www.suitedforchange.org

I'm probably the one most vocal about you coming across as self-congratulatory jackasses.

This post almost offers some redemption. But it fails to address the overall tone of this blog, which is becoming less and less "this will make my (or my friend's) neighborhood barely livable for several months," and more and more "woe is us, we 20-somethings in DC are just way too cool for MTV and TRW, and also too cool for the millions of people who obviously will never recognize it."

Just an FYI.. Real World is no longer doing the whole job thing with the cast. I think I read that on on the RW site. I guess that gives more time for booze, sex, and fights.

Awesome post. And, I don't think you guys are JAs, I just think that vitriol towards people that you've never met doesn't solve anything. And, I think you are trying to do a lot of good in the world and so why not do good with these youngsters moving into the neighborhood. @Sue_Anne

Great list – happy to see arts organizations included! Maybe this show will help people see that there's more to DC than the National Mall. Or maybe this show will mostly take place inside the house where they all get drunk and angsty and make out like they do in every other city. Either way: hooray for the arts!

DC Central Kitchen is one of my favorite charity groups. The work that they do is holistic and it is a blast to volunteer there.

Thanks for including DC Vote – we'd love to have TRW cast members help spread the word about Taxation Without Representation!

Ok this is how I see it shacking down:

During the Brooklyn season they broke from the tradition of a house job into more individual pursuits, which were more interesting because the house job never got done. So I bet they give them the individual pursuit aspect as the way they go because 7 failures is better than 1. The RW tone has changed recently to one more about humiliation than interestingness and “hot hook-ups”; they don’t even show awkward dry humping anymore.

If they do a house job, it most likely be there own little project with some national organization. Highly doubt they will work with a local concern since they can do that in any lame ass city, and the project will barely get done and will make a mockery out of the organization that “hired” them.
