I have been a CASA (court appointed special advocate) for abused and neglected children in the Foster system for 4 years. I am disabled and unable to work. I think working with these children, that my heart goes out to, does more for me than them. It gives my life meaning and it is something I can do. We desperately need more volunteers in our county.
I'm lucky enough to have volunteered for the local Humane Society for the past several years. I get to spend time with some very sweet, loving animals, be a part of helping them find a home, and also help to inform the public about the role we play in making the world better for pets.
I volunteer at an all girls summer camp in northern Michigan. I love being able to give young women a chance to grow and become strong, independent individuals that have the confidence to go out and do great things in the world.
I volunteer as a Police Reserve officer, helping at city events and patrolling my city looking for an unusual activity. I also donate blood and volunteer at Feed My Starving Children on a regular basis.
I do volunteer. I'm a Natural Resource Volunteer for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The volunteer program is excellently run, with training and responsibilities in many aspects of environmental quality and wildlife management. I also do volunteer gleaning for the local food bank when opportunities arise.

Great stuff. Yeah today with the Internet and it being a worldwide marketplace now there is no reason for people to start to create additional income for themselves and family.
I do, but not a lot of time is volunteered anymore. Different stages of life have different needs and abilities -- just in one right now that allows for less time for volunteering! But I'm sure as life changes, that will change too. Love working for clean water charities!
I volunteer at our city animal shelter, walking dogs, socializing and cleaning up after cats, and helping potential adopters. I also fostered several litters of kittens last summer. It's very depressing to know so many of the animals are put down because they can't find homes.
I try to volunteer when I have time, which unfortunately isn't very often. When I do volunteer, I don't really stick with one thing, I do a search for my area and see what opportunities are there and pick whichever seems most fun and like something I could do.
Yes, I think volunteering is a great way to spend my time, and meet new people. Volunteering helps me be a part of the community, the solution, and be humble. I volunteer with Team RWB, Team Rubicon, Girls on the Run, and other organizations less frequently.
I have always volunteered at my children's schools as a tutor or room mom. But when my oldest went to high school I began working one morning a week in the main office there. My youngest is now in HS and my 5 years "behind the scenes" experience has taught ME a lot! I really enjoy it but I also think it's important for me as a parent to see what the administrators and teachers really go through each day.
I do a lot of volunteering - in the past I've done PTA and been president there [huge headache but worthwhile for my kids], taught illiterate adults to read [and presided on that board eventually as well - nice to be able to steer that organization towards the next challenges] and currently volunteer both at a suicide/crisis hotline and as a commissioner for our water district.
I have learned a great deal, and experienced a great deal and I challenge everyone to find something meaningful to them and get busy volunteering - it's more important in this day and age than ever as funding shrinks. I'm a sandwich generation single mom of three kids who also works [albeit not full time] as an attorney - I've nursed at boardroom tables - if I can do it so can most people - I know there are those who are truly unable to pry time away from their lives - find another way - make a donation, send out fundraising letters for them from home - there's always a way to help. I promise you'll never regret it.
When my daughter was school aged, I volunteered for a lot of school events, as well as town sports. It was a great way to meet other parents, some of which are still my friends years later.
I'm not working right now, so have free time. Volunteering is a great way to put some "oomph" behind something you believe in and give back. I volunteer at our local library and at the non profit thrift store. Both are great resources for the financially strapped and have been a huge help to our family. Plus it's good getting to know people in our community that way.
Do u cook the grits or just sprinkle them on the counters?
I have been a volunteer in the library of a local hospital for over 10 years

Fantastic List! The key to doing these is the level of intensitiy. I would do these for 20minutes.
Thank you for sharing!

Yes, every Sunday night I volunteer in the nursery at my church, and once a month I play bingo at the assisted living home in my city.

I have volunteered the past 4 years as a Big Sister with our local Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter.

I do volunteer pretty consistently at different causes and events.
