Answer 1

Ask your local library if they need help after school.

Answer 2

VolunteerMatch, http://www.volunteermatch.org

Idealist, http://www.idealist.org

Change.org, http://www.change.org

CraigsList, http://www.craigslist.com

Network for Good, http://www.networkforgood.org

http://www.1-800-volunteer.org/

ServeNet, http://servenet.org/

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.

Answer 3

I know a lot about volunteering but the answer of Jayne says read more book is just perfect.

My 2 cents: Volunteering can bring you so much more than credit hours. if you choose something you enjoy, you'll have a good time, meet new friends sharing some ideas and more importantly you might find openess, attention to the others. Just try

THE PREVIOUS ANSWERS FROM JAYNE ARE EXCELLENT. IN OUR TOWN A LOT OF THE YOUTH VOLUNTEER N THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND HELPING WITH LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL IS HUGE. YOU CAN HELP WITH COACHING OR IN THE CONCESSION STANDS. YOU CAN ALSO VOLUNTEER WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OR AT ANY SHELTER (HOMELESS, TEENAGE PARENTS ETC.)
