What are some good places to volunteer?

  • Specifically in Orange County, California. I'm looking to volunteer while school is out from Mid May to Late August. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to work directly with adults, children, or animals. I don't mind working with those that are ill (mentally or physically), but would prefer not to work exclusively with the elderly. I wanted to apply for CHOC in Orange, but they said its a 3 month wait to even get an interview, which I find to be ridiculous. Where should I look for good volunteer opportunities?

  • Answer:

    I would recommend that you contact your local volunteer center. They can provide all sorts of one-time or short-term volunteer activities that match your interest and meet real community needs as well. In addition, they can connect you with other non-profit agencies in the area for longer-term projects. Through my volunteer center, I tutor children at the local library, enhance visitor experience at the local museum, package food at the local food bank, and a lot of other diverse projects. Your volunteer center is The Volunteer Center of Orange County: http://www.volunteercenter.org/ Good luck!

Try your local Department of Family and Children Services office. You will probably have to go through a background check. If not there, try local counseling offices - or get phone numbers for agencies through United Way. Good Luck!
