Answer 3

For the USA: VolunteerMatch (http://www.volunteermatch.org), Idealist (http://www.idealist.org) and CraigsList (http://www.craigslist.com) all list volunteering opportunities with thousands of organizations. There's also this government sponsored site (http://volunteer.gov/gov/) which provides volunteer positions through USA federal land agencies like Fish & Wildlife, Forest Service, National Parks, etc. Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site (http://www.pointsoflight.org/centers/).

Answer 4

Check if your local museum needs any help. They can use folks who will sort files, clean exhibits, watch the door, etc. Food banks sometimes need help sorting through the donations and shelving them. Some libraries use volunteer help, too, sorting books or reshelving them. In a pinch, contact your local United Way office for their recommendations. Lots of opportunities out there for willing hands. Best to volunteer at something you care about.
