Guest · Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2006 5:02 pm Post subject: Volunteer work?

I'm a career office worker with some extra time on my hands after cutting back my hours. I'd like to do some volunteering, but I don't really know where to start. I have always wanted to help people and I feel if I don't start now I may never start.

I'd like to do something more hands-on than sitting at a desk. Any suggestions?

I've worked with the elderly before in a previous job, which may be something I could apply to a volunteer position, but I'd be open to just about anything that will help people. Thanks!

To help people who are elderly, you do not need to be a part of an organized group. Find a retirement center or a senior center (they are called different things in different countries) and ask the director if there is anyone there who doesn't have family come and visit. You could be that person's helper and regular visitor.

If you prefer to work with more than one person, read, sing or play music to a group of elderly people.

No matter what you choose, doing anything is certainly better than nothing. Smile
