648.0. "Volunteer Opportunities" by ANALYZ::KEANE () Thu Jun 15 1989 09:23

    I'm going back to school over the summer (yeah!) and will have some
    time available.  Does anyone know of a volunteer position which might
    take someone for about 3 - 6 months in Boston?  Also, is there any
    regular posting of volunteer oppportunities?  I'm open to anything.
    
    Thanks,

    Ann, I'm certain that the AIDS Action Committee could use an extra pair
    of hands... they're at 131 Clarendon Street in Boston. 
    Phone 617/ 437-6200.

    Also, i would think the shelters could use help...
    try Rosie's Place,
    the Pine Street Inn,
    Long Island Shelter, etc.
    There is also the Salvation Army, and Goodwill, who usually
    take all the help they can get.
    If you are looking for specific 'women's support groups' to
    volunteer your time to...you might give a call to 
    the Women's Center in Cambridge, and ask them for suggestions.

    If you like children, there's always Childrens Hospital.  I volunteer
    there and have a ball!  The kids are great.

    If you want to "get back" more than you "give" try the Special
    Olympics. I helped a friend once who volunteers her time with
    SO and I'll tell you, there's not a better feeling!  I really felt
    that I got more back in the way of love from those kids than I was
    able to give.
