I'm looking for single day volunteer opportunities for a club at my school such as helping out in festivals, the recent MS Walk, or something of that nature. Anyone have any ideas or at least know where I can find this information?

    If you see an organization that you would like to help, but don't see a group volunteering opportunity posted by that organization, it's okay to call them and say you would like to volunteer, but as a group-- they may have opportunities they haven't posted. Also, many organizations are open to your own suggestions for group volunteering activities.

    Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site,

    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.
