I'm in college and during my winter break I will have one month off, and I figured it might be nice to volunteer somewhere during that period, but I'm not sure where to start looking? Any ideas?
... as to what I want to volunteer for, I'm pretty flexible I think!

Most localities have a city/county volunteer bureau, which is a good place to start. You might Google for such an organization in your area or look under "Volunteer" in your yellow pages. If you have a particular field in which you are interested (animals, the elderly, etc.) you might go straight to community-based organizations that specialize in that kind of work and see what they need or if they can refer you elsewhere. Good luck. Volunteering can be a rewarding experience and can add to your job skills.

VolunteerMatch (http://www.volunteermatch.org), Idealist (http://www.idealist.org) and CraigsList (http://www.craigslist.com) all list volunteering opportunities with thousands of organizations. These are great places to look for volunteering opportunities. Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site.
