[quote=Anonymous]OP, everyone's experiences may vary, but I would advise to temper your expectations about volunteerism and be prepared you may have to try several/many organizations before you find a good fit. I've done volunteering in elder care, youth support, historic venue, animal shelters and music/arts promotion. Not all of them are created equal. Some organizations just don't have the bandwidth to manage volunteers successfully. Others have a distinct "pecking order" and can be clannish, leaving newcomers essentially standing on the sidelines and ignored. I eventually found a couple of good causes where I feel like I'm being useful, and hope you will have similar luck. [/quote]
