Volunteering opportunities in San Francisco?!?!?1?

Question

Hello Answer's Community!

One of my new years resolutions was to become more involved in Volunteer work. I work with an organization currently called "Shanti" and one day a week work with a client for a few hours (practical support mostly)

I would like to do more though, and was hopeing to see some suggestions.

also, one of my main interestes are in the Suicide Hotlines... was wondering if anyone knew how to volunteer with them... or what the hour requirments are.

for the record I'm 22, I work, and am a student so really all I have are weekends to volunteer.

Answer 1

Check out One Brick at http://www.onebrick.org, it is a non profit geared towards making it easier to volunteer!

Answer 2

When I was at SF State, I volunteered my Friday evenings at the Shriners' Children's hospital. That was in the 60s and I still remember the sense of worth and the courage the children had. More than likely they can still use volunteers. The thing about the children there was that they returned with ease that which was shared and given. Marvelous way to cap off a school's week.

Answer 3

try Glide Memorial Church.
