    I used to teach Sunday School at my church for about 3 years voluntarily.
    It was really fun :)
    And the kids were great.
    And I really enjoyed doing it for no money.

    I help out at the local Leisure Centre with trampolining and gymnastics but thats partly because I was doing assistant coaching courses. I would love to help at a local animal reascue centre or anything like that, especialy dogs but I'm in the middle of no where and with no car there's no where I can get to.

    I volunteer at an animal rescue centre.
    And I love it. I socialize kittens, clean, wash them, groom them.
    Look after cats, foster kittens and mother cats. I also walk the dogs and work in the shop :cute:

    I work at my local Oxfam shop and I love it. Tis awesome sorting through everyone's old stuff. People don't think we have standards and put any old thing out and seriously it's gross some of the things handed in, but a lot of the time the stuff is good. We're not allowed to sell electrical goods and I got my iPod from there :XD

    We even had a scooter handed in at one point. We were taking it in turns to go round the shop on it :XD
    But then some lady asked if it was for sale. We hesitantly sold it :(

    I volunteer at a Senior Center. It's really rewarding. I've found a lot in common with some of them, and I like it there.

    I volunteer to clean up the quarries in my town. I volunteer at the soup kitchen whenever I can, and I help collect food at local supermarkets for the homeless shelters.
    I really want to volunteer at a retirement center soon, but I have to wait until next summer. v.v
    I wouldn't count my PeaceJam organization as a volunteering thing, but that's mainly when we clean up rivers, parks, other places.
    I don't know. I'll let you all decide.

    I'm in 4-H and therefore obligated to volunteer. Actually, today I have to teach a class on making panini's that the county agent volunteered me for. I've basically wasted about 1/50 of my life on things that other people volunteer me for.

    I volunteer at hospitals. I have to clean stuff and follow nurses around to do exactly as they tell me. It makes my feet hurt.
    And I once volunteered at this daycare place. Never again will I do that. Ever.

    I'm going to volunteer at the local animal shelter.
    same here :cute:
    but the thing with my shelter is, you have to be 16+ to be there WITHOUT your parent/guardian watching you.
    i'm waiting just a little longer 'til i send in my application.

    It's not really volunteer work cause I have to do it but I do Community Service at a local Special School.

    I'm working with kids that are physically and mentally disabled. I don't know how good I'll be at it yet, but I hope I can make some kind of a difference.

    I volunteer at the local animal shelter.
    I love animals and it looks great on my college application, so it's a win-win for me.

    Now I really want to volunteer for this cool organization that promotes LGBT rights. But I need to convince my friend to volunteer with me. >_> I also really want to volunteer in an anti-war campaign, have yet to find one that would suit me.
    I tried to volunteer for Greenpeace once. But they wouldn't take me because I was too young -I was 14-ish. They said they need people ''with experience''. Grrrr.
    Oh, and I want to take part in a tree-planting action really bad.
    And I picked up garbage from a forest once.

    I volunteer through the California Scholarship Federation, it's a service club at my school.

    Mostly I go to this place called RAFT, Resource Area for Teachers, that re-packages donated supplies to make cheap learning materials, projects, etc. It's a pretty cool place, and the more you volunteer the more you get to do, like demonstrations and stuff. :]

    I've also done a few bay and highway cleaning days, it's tedious but fun and a good cause. :]
