Can you recommend a place to volunteer?

Question

I have been looking to volunteer for a while i cannot seem to find a good one to volunteer for, can you recommend a place to volunteer? I would prefer with children. I have also looked online and so far nothing... please help thank you.

Answer 1

Because you prefer children, I highly recommend you seek volunteer work with Big Brothers and Big Sisters Agency, they could use your help with the children who do not have a big brother or sister. You would surely bring great difference to a child.

Answer 2

RED CROSS is always looking for people

they have all kinds of openings and need a variety of help

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.

If you want to be a volunteer to help with the consequences of a natural disaster, such as Hurricane Katrina, you need to register and prepare NOW. Here's a web site where you can register and start your preparation so that you can help the next time disaster strikes:

Answer 4

Work with your local American Cancer Society. They have tons of events to help with on committees, Relay For Life, golf tournaments, galas, but they also have programs you can work with. You could talk to school children about preventing cancer (eating right, exercising, not smoking, etc). Call 1-888-ACS-2345 to find your local office and ask what you can do to help!
