I volunteer casually at a museum. I am busy during the summers as I volunteer at various festivals and special events. For example I will be ushering at a fringe theatre festival. They give me show passes for each shift volunteered. This weekend I will be volunteering at a Rib cook-off. I will earn meal vouchers for each shift worked. I volunteered at a big pancake festival earlier this summer and worked on food preparation for another event about the same time. I volunteer for a charity organization too doing various jobs as required.

There is a lot to do.

Most communities have a volunteer hotline where you can find out and be matched up with suitable positions. My mental health association has a vocational support worker who does that too.

None of the volunteering I do requires any specific skill. Mostly it's fun and usually pretty easy. The best part is that it gives you something REWARDING to do and looks great on a resume.
