Ask at your local hospital (they often need volunteers for various things) Ask at your local retirement home (they often need volunteers for various things) Ask at your work (some places have structured opportunities already) Ask your friends how they volunteer Ask your local scout troop if they need volunteers Craft a fundraiser around a cause you believe in (this could even be a food drive at work or it could be a virtual fundraiser) Explore options from schools you went to Find community organizations and see if they need anything Google local volunteer fairs Google organizations you believe in and explore what they need Google your local parks' organizations If you have a house of worship, ask there Think about what skills you have to contribute to an organization and look for opportunities that align with those Think about what you are most passionate about and find opportunities that align with your passions Think about your schedu

I wrote this piece for AP Lang and Comp in fall of 2009.  The child stared out the foggy car window into the night watching, waiting, knowing what came next down the drizzly road.  Then it came into view.  The child looked at the iron gates and shuddered; the child did not like graveyards.

Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why
