To work with children you need to undergo a background check and fingerprinting which you pay for. Try a Scout Troop or Little League both are always in need of volunteers. Then there is the Big Brother, Big Sister organization

Call 211. They are the experts in non profits in your area. Volunteer at the local food pantry, soup kitchen, domestic abuse shelter, or homeless shelter. Read at the library, have a story hour. Read at the local hospital in the waiting room. Help at the animal shelter or humane society. If you can't do that; have a food drive; "Oodles of Noodles" is a pasta drive that is usually very successful for the food pantry. Collect new toothbrushes and hairbrushes for the domestic abuse shelter. Collect blankets, hats, gloves for the homeless shelter. Collect used blankets and towels for the animal shelter. The need is great; the opportunities are endless.
