Volunteering

[(Anonymous)]

Do you volunteer anywhere or with any organization?

If so, how'd you get involved? And how the heck do you find the time??

I really want to volunteer at a few places near me, but I am having a heck of a time fitting it in my schedule. They always want people at events that are going on while I'm still at work. But my job is sucking every little bit of energy and joy out of my life, so I feel like I really need to get involved in something that will bring back some good vibes. (Also currently looking for a new job, but that is very slow going.)

Re: Volunteering

This is coming late, but I volunteer at the local library with the group that sorts and sells book donations dropped off in the donation bin, since they had a "volunteers wanted" sign up and contact info. This group happens to be pretty flexible with time after the initial orientation; I have a set day to come in each week, but they let the volunteers set their own timing, tasks, and time spent. I think it's because they only have two big sales each year, but otherwise each week has pretty much the same tasks, with the amount to be done really dependent on donation flow and book sales/shop browsing. Since this library's open through early evening, I try to average about 90 minutes each week, working until just before closing.

So maybe you could see if there are places of interest near you that are more dependent on volunteers to provide consistent upkeep as opposed to volunteering centered around scheduled events.

Also, if you're in the US and near a city that has a One Brick chapter (onebrick.org), that's an organization I've had some good experiences with. They set up one-time-only volunteer events with different groups, where there's no obligation beyond the shift you sign up for, with an optional get-together after the shift with the other volunteers for lunch or coffee or similar. The only caveat is that it's only as good an experience as whomever the final on-site volunteer coordinator is, which is variable -- but again, at least it's one-time-only.
