Where can I volunteer during my spring break?

Question

I really want to spend my spring break (of 2009) volunteering, but I am having trouble finding a project that is

A. only one week long

B. Under $200

Does anyone know of any projects or organizations I can volunteer for?

Answer 1

for that amount of money, your best bet is looking into either a local church organization or a habitat for humanity.  chances are local churches will run some type of volunteer program for the local kids for that week and it might even be really cheap.

Answer 2

Many Churches have childcare. See if someone you know goes to a church that needs some help, or if you go to a church, help out there.

It's fun, I do it, and sometimes, depending on who is in charge, you get to eat all the food and go on field-trips with the kids.

Answer 3

Save money by going local...

See if there is a charity race/walk that week.

Habitat for Humanity always needs help.

Work with a youth shelter (they would need help with kids on break)

Work at a nursing home.

Are you volunteering anywhere now?  Ask those people for help.

The main thing... ask!  People will tell you what they need if you just ask them.
