Hospitals and senior centers can have some great year round volunteering opportunities
School – Does a teacher needs help collating papers or sorting math manipulatives? Does the PTA need help setting up the prize booth at the carnival?
Partner with a local college’s women’s center or a family services location nearby
Aquarium – by following rules and being aware of other Aquarium patrons

Guest Speakers

Anyone in the Service Industry – talk about how they are considerate and caring to not just their customers but anyone that they meet while at work.
