I've had quite rewarding volunteer jobs. I was a peer adviser for PAIMI, worked at my local library, and best of all was a volunteer for the no kill animal shelter in the special care unit for sick cats, kittens and puppies. The special care unit was off limits to visitors only staff and volunteers were allowed which made it ideal and much less stressful. At least I did that before my back went out, now I just watch tv and read books...the volunteering was better. You are in control of the hours and how much you work.
