Please answer ONLY if you have volunteered for something, or at least are considering it. Please don't respond with "no". Thank you for respecting this.
I'll start: a women with disabilities group, and a yoga class for children with disabilities.
I've also worked with anti-cruelty societies as well as a program to help families with children with disabilities by caring for the children so the parents can relax (respite).
I love volunteer work, don't you? :)

I use to volunteer at a retirement home. A group from my high school class built a butterfly garden for the residence, and it is also wheelchair accessable. Also volunteered for Hospice around the same time for 3 years. And volunteered at a doctors office for almost 2 years doing scripts and making patient files. I had to do volunteer work for my Medical Program in High School.

I volunteer working with Youth...I'm currently involved with several different age groups. The two major ones would be Teens, and also nursery age.(Toddlers)
That's about all I volunteer for, because my work takes up most of my time...but like you, I love volunteering.
In the past, I also volunteered working with the elderly...

CASA - Court Appointed Special Advocate. I advocate for children who are in child services' system and insure that their cases are handled in a timely manner. I make sure the children don't get "lost in the system". I'm also looking into starting a program for single moms in NJ.

I work and volunteer at a summer camp for inner city kids. I consider it partially volunteer work because I work more hours than I'm supposed to and don't get paid for those extra hours.
I love those kids.

I teach children karate at recreation centers and don't get paid for it (although it is it's own reward). I also do volunteer work as a security guard at local events such as air shows and races.
