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:

If you're involved in a religious organization that's a great place to start, another idea is a local food pantry or shelter, they always need help serving food. Find what you're interested in and look for organizations that are similar. If you're in high school, there are a lot of clubs that help. I joined peer mediators and was sent to middle schools to help talk to kids about emotional issues, bf/gf issues, and it was very rewarding. In college I was in a mentor program that was the same, and its both volunteering. Another is the Big Brother/Big Sister program, that are great. They peer up High School age students and older with elementary school kids who are in need of just one on one time, special attention and some fun. Ask your school guidance councilor or nurse for specific areas  of need in your town. Good Luck!
