[quote=Anonymous]Op, does the idea of earning your own money appeal to? I ask because if earning an income is not a criteria of yours there are many organizations with roles that are technically volunteer positions, but are "typical" business roles. For instance many office positions with the Red Cross are 100% volunteer. I've volunteered with the American Cancer Society and they are always looking for administrative help, but the work is unpaid. The same with many animal shelters - they need a lot of administrative help.

I can understand not wanting to return to teaching in any capacity. I also can empathize with wanting to start in a small place so that you can help knock down some of the shyness. I think working in an administrative role is a great way to get out of the house, flex your brain, and interact with adults. So I wouldn't give up on considering "volunteer" positions because I think you could find one that is not what many people traditionally think of with volunteering (e.g. Working in a soup kitchen, reading to elderly nursing home patients, etc.).

Good luck![/quote]
