They need joyful, energetic and pretty healthy looking people around.

There's always something to do at the local public schools. Now that my children are in college, I have turned my 22 year volunteer work into a career. This is my first year teaching High School English!

Volunteer firefighter at two different fire houses.
Realized what a need there is for more, and enjoy it.
Putting the fire out, and tending to accident victims is only a small part of the job.
Don't get much sleep some nights, but neither do those that need help.

I would like to volunteer at our local tavern. I would like to be the person that taste-tests from the kegs ever day to make sure that the beer has not gone bad.
But the owner turns me down. That is what I don't understand, why some people turn away good volunteer help.

I do outdoor work, some with school kids. Parks and trails never get enough funding and rely on volunteers. I also volunteered as a library aide at my son's school when he was a kid.

Yes; I work with a salmon hatchery in Issaquah, Washington; I teach people about the life cycle of these fish, and help them understand the importance of salmon to the ecology of western Washington and the Puget Sound. It's a kick, especially working with little kids who aren't much bigger than the fish :-)

I own and moderate a yahoo group that is part of a worldwide recycling effort to keep items out of the landfills and provide people in need with "free stuff".

I've been to New Orleans four times in the past year, building houses. No plans to stop soon.
I also knit blankets for the homeless in my own city.

I am thinking of serving a full time mission for a year and half for my church; the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (namely the Mormon church) next year. I don't know where I will be called, so it will be exciting. I want to help people to come unto Christ and hear the gospel of Jesus Christ in its fulness. His church is restored.
