   If you see an organization that you would like to help, but don't see a volunteering opportunity posted by that organization, it's okay to call them and say you would like to volunteer -- they may have opportunities they haven't posted. Also, many organizations are open to your own suggestions for volunteering activities.
   
   Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site,
   
   http://www.pointsoflight.org/centers/
   
   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.
   
   Remember that finding a volunteering gig can be like finding a job: you may have to interview several times before you are chosen for an assignment.

   You can either talk to your locan chaimer of Commerce or just go out and do something good.  Pick up the trash in the park. you dont have to have permission to do that. but if you are looking for locan charity events, talk to the city about it. CIty Hall. :)

   Community service is a wonderful gift. Before you decide where to volunteer assess what skills and talents you possess and which would provide the most benefit.
   
   There are several ways to get information on where to start. Your local religious organizations/churches can help and so can your city councilman/woman.
   
   I know where ever you decide to put your efforts it will be appreciated.
