While considering a post about volunteering time to directly help people in need, I thought that it would be useful to share a few resources for finding local volunteer opportunities.

There appear to be thousands of volunteer opportunities and hundreds of organizations looking for volunteers.


I have listed a few organizations and companies below that provide online tools to help connect people to specific volunteer opportunities.  This is certainly not an exhaustive list of volunteer opportunity networks, however it is a good starting point for anyone searching for potential volunteer opportunities.
