How to become a volunteer

Want to volunteer your time, but you're not sure where to start? Women's resource site Girlistic.com has a few suggestions/resources for you.

Basically, it depends a couple of things: your skills, talents, and where the need is greatest. For instance, if you are especially creative, you could volunteer to do the bulletin board at your child's school. If you know how to knit or sew, almost every hospital will hook you up with their resident baby blanket brigade. If you love to read, many senior centers are begging for folks to come in and do a bit of respite reading care. The possibilities are endless; plus, if you have kids, they enjoy volunteering right along with you (where appropriate, of course). — Wendy Boswell
