Looking to Volunteer

The website is a great place to start. Other ideas off the top of my head... (a) Children's Hospital (b) Food pantry (c) Nursing Home (d) Daycares might be able to use assistance? (e) Shelters of many kind - woman/children/etc. If you can continue with it, at least once a month, that would be wonderful. Maybe at least one day a week for 5 months if you are allowed 5 days off. Good luck!

Hi, what a great program through your workplace! I was just left wondering if you would volunteer for the week full-time or are you looking to start something that week and continue it? I think the advice from the previous mom looks good...about the volunteer match website. I was just thinking of the things I am involved in. In Plainfield there is Gigi's playhouse (my son has Down syndrome and this is a Down syndrome awareness center). I know they look for volunteers for various events and regular reading tutor volunteers. There is also Special Olympics that relies on volunteers. Again, these are groups that I am most familiar with but I am sure there is a ton of great groups to contact that will gladly take your help!
