I want to volunteer
Wondering if anyone volunteers anywhere and if there is a website of places that might need help. I would be interested in animal/environmental volunteering. Habitat for Humanity? Any suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks
Re: I want to volunteer
I used to volunteer at the Animal Adoption Foundation (www.aafpets.org). It's a local no-kill shelter out by Rumke. Once you undergo a quick training you can stop in whenever you're free to help by socializing the animals (walking dogs, playing with dogs/cats), helping to adopt them out, cleaning, etc.
For environmental volunteering try Keep Cincinnati Beautiful.

Many shelters/rescues are always looking for foster families. I fostered a golden retriever several years ago. I worked on some basic behavior, took him to be groomed and vetted, stuff like that. The rescue paid for the vet care & grooming, I paid for food but you can often deduct food, travel, etc on your taxes. Plus fostering frees up space so the rescue can get another animal out of a shelter!
That said, call any non-profit that interests you and ask if they need help. I bet they'll say yes!

Excellent group. Only quit because I was having a hard time juggling the obligations of working FT, raising a toddler, and volunteering.
We rescued our dogs through HART Animal Rescue because a family friend volunteered for them. We had a positive experience adopting, and she had a positive experience volunteering. I haven't communicated with them in about a year, but I assume they are still active. GL!
