What are some volunteer opportunities?

Question

I am looking for some volunteer opportunities for my mom. I've already found some opportunities at a hospital and at the library. Does anyone have any other ideas? Note that she will not want to volunteer at a place such as an animal shelter. She's a little uptight about that kind of volunteering.

Answer 1

well : I also know about "Community Service just an Volunteers

Organization Answers Society & Culture  has Volunteersmatch .org

yes very important thing that Jobscareers helps each 1 community

also United Way ,UNICEF supports College Education plus

these Sponsors build & support non -profits  

Answer 2

It's a bit different - but has she thought of the Fire & Rescue service - if there's a volunteer branch where you are?

Most stations at least have SOME volunteers - only really metropolitan ones are fully paid.

I realise there's a really likely chance she won't want to actually fight fires, do rescues, etc, which is perfectly fair - (although if she wanted to, the option is there!) but - my main point here will be, there are a lot of "non-operational" roles in the service, such as doing book keeping and administration, public safety courses, training, communications, social clubs, catering, even things like counselling and support roles.

So there's a different idea - and a different way of looking at the service, as many people think "oh, I don't want to be in the Fire service as I'll have to be a firefighter!"  

Answer 3

Has she ever thought about volunteering as:

a Girl Scout Leader

at the YMCA/YWCA

a 4-Club Leader

a Big Brother/Big Sister sponsor

a sitter with the elderly

a Camp Fire Girl Leader

a daycare center

a piano teacher

at the American Red Cross

etc.
