Hi,
There are many places that could use the help of a willing reliable person.
I have recently given time at a community of elderly people in their dementia unit visiting community members. A couple of years ago i googled retirement homes, checked to see if they had volunteers working for them and what sort of things they did. Sometimes working with vulnerable people you may have to go through a process and after it is done it is well worth it.
My job was to spend time with different community members engaging in some of their interests like walking/sitting in the garden, chatting/listening about anything that sparked the conversation, sometimes helping other volunteers/workers doing craft/gardening and on some occasions just sitting with someone.
Another place i have helped with a group of volunteers was at a community day care centre. We all had set little jobs to help the centre with [making tea/coffee, serving morning tea, greeting clients as they arrived, just having a chat] and also helped staff with activities that the clients wanted to engage in like playing games, sing a longs, cooking and sometimes going on outings.
Next year i hope to volunteer transporting clients to different places with a community group, there is training to do this sort of volunteer job but they provide it before you start.
Loved both my volunteer jobs and they gave me great joy and the feeling of being able to give back to community.
I found a lot of different things out there to volunteer in by googling volunteer jobs in my city but then chose to find something that suited me best [love to be social].
Have fun exploring the avenues to your volunteer job.
Gen
