I wasn't sure where to post this.
I am very interesting in volunteering and giving back to our community but I am not sure where to begin.
Ideally any of the following would interest me:
Public Art project/ city mural
City clean-up
promoting pet adoption/ spaying-neutering
somehow giving back to children
I am a graphic designer/creative type and so something that could possible use those skills would be cool...
Thanks for any suggestions!
wasn't sure if this needed a comment to push it to the home page...

Children's Home Society on San Diego road always has lots of oppertunities.
I get most of my volunteering through volunteermatch.org
They match you based off of location, age, skill and a million other things.
My probation officer tells me where to volunteer
I"m not sure how old you are, but there's a group called TaleTellers who read to PreK and K classes in Title 1 schools. But they ask that you're 55 or older. :)
I'm sure that Springfield Animal Care and Rescue Committee (SACARC) could always use someone with a creative eye. Their "Dog Days" event is held in September...here's a link:
