Decide what causes you are passionate about. Some common causes include abused or abandoned animals, domestic abuse victims, homeless people, inner city children and victims of disaster.

2
Connect with your local Red Cross. The Red Cross is a wealth of information when it comes to letting you know when and where your services are needed. They can also help get you connected to other non-profit organizations. Beyond that, check your local yellow pages for a charity of your choice.

Let the organization know your skills. Whether you are able to do construction, cook, provide administrative support, talk to a person in need or just hold someone's hand, there is a person or an animal or a cause that needs you.

Consider your schedule. Are you able to devote several days a week or just an hour or two a month. No matter how much or how little time you have, every minute you can volunteer makes a difference.
