  1. Visit a nursing home and read to some of the seniors, or just visit and listen, so many of them are forgotten.


  2. Volunteer at a local animal shelter! It's fun and you are helping the community. Visiting a local nursing home is another really good idea, because many residents don't ever get any visitors. Just talking to them for a few minutes can really brighten their day.

  3. Work in a kitchen serving dinner at your local homeless shelter

  4. Are you in the USA? Then use any of these online databases to find volunteering opportunities in your area:

    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/

    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.

  5. churches are always looking for nursery attendants

    libraries are always looking for restockers

    tourism departments welcome volunteer greeters

    schools love to have volunteers come sign up for reading groups and breakfast buddies

    nursing homes enjoy have visitors who will read books, sing songs, play musical instruments.

    any of these things would be a wonderful help to the community and human interaction gives you a great way to get references and recommendations as well.

  6. Collect pencils for The Pencil Project. Easy, rewarding and you will be making a HUGE difference in the lives of needy children.
