[quote=Anonymous]Think outside the box, OP. Volunteer when you can, but make it work for *you.* I never once in the 12 years as an elementary school parent chaperoned a bus field trip. Not my thing, for a variety of reasons. I did, however, volunteer in the library on a regular basis and worked solo, at home, on a years-long organizational project that benefited the school. I was a SAHM and unable to get to the school to volunteer for years as I was either pregnant, nursing or a slave to the 1/2 day preschool schedule. I used my precious alone time to sleep. Decide exactly what you'd like to do and start small. I tiptoed back into volunteering by assembling weekly backpack folders for the kindergarteners - their school work plus scholastic book orders, plus teacher notes plus PTA info. [/quote]
