Volunteering is a great way to meet people, make friends, find a romantic interest or just get some motivation to leave your home, get some exercise and stop doom-scrolling online.
Note To Organizations:
There are several things I have seen that are making it harder for volunteers to find you (and your corresponding opportunities), including:
broken links on website
missing volunteer info on landing pages (have to click through 2, 3, 4+ pages to get to info about what kind of volunteers are needed, if there are even any opportunities available
posting volunteer info only on newsletters (after signup)
missing info about work done (is it physical, age requirements, can people show up last minute without signing up, commitment levels etc.)
I am more than happy to help out when/where I can, but I need some help which is partly why I am surfacing this info here for everyone.

Note To Volunteers
Many organizations don’t list all their volunteer opportunities on their website, social media channels etc. If you want to help:
List specific skills, ways you can help (website maintenance, social media, etc).
Let them know certain volunteer opportunities are not listed on their site or are buried very deep
Notify them of broken links, missing info on sign-ups etc.
If looking for specific objectives to volunteer (meet people, feel good about what you are doing, doing shifts last minute without registering etc. let me know).
Sign up for their emails (some orgs only post opportunities this way).
You can always pick up trash at beaches, parks & more. No sign-up needed, meet your neighbors, make it a game with your kids as to how many pieces they can collect. Explain how it protects animals, birds and more.
