I want to do some volunteer charity work, for a variety of reasons, most of which aren't altruistic. Ideally, I would only want to work 4 - 8 hours a week, preferably a Monday or Tuesday evening ( after 6pm) , but I would go for a Sunday afternoon too. If I had my choice I would like to hang out with the homeless. I don't want to do any telemarketing but I don’t mind manual labour.

I've never done any volunteer charity work before, so my question is what are the best places to try, and where are they located? Also, what is the best way to get a shift for a volunteer position?

The thread would be more fun if we could guess your reasons. I'll start.

You have to do some community work as part of a sentencing.
 
Volunteer work can look good on a resume. You appear filled with the milk of human kindness. I remember working for one of the telephone distress lines to help with my application to graduate school.

Excellent choice. Also call phone Community Information Centre at 211.

Personally, I've enjoyed volunteering, especially on distress lines. Unfortunatley, both centres closed up for lack of support (volunteers plus $$$$).

From 10 or so years of experience, I suspect there are some SPs who would make excellent non-judgemental listeners.

Be warned, however, not 9 to 5 work. Can be busiest 1-4 in the morning.

Since University my friends and I have been giving of our time every year to Habitat For Humanity. I am fortunate to be employed in a firm that has taken my suggestion and supports the charity through the donation of professional services.
