So I am checking out this website for volunteering some of my time because I've been saying I was going to volunteer for years, and I keep hearing them bitch on the radio that not enough people volunteer..

Well I understand why now..

I was interested in this one program of dealing with old people an animals and stuff, then I see the requirements and I closed my browser.

-4 hours a week, minimum 1 year committment
-5 days of classroom sensitivity training (3 hours a day)
-must pay all expenses, I.e Parking/Busing
-Police background checks (our expense)
-2 Interviews

How ridiculous is that? No wonder they bitch about people not wanting to volunteer, too many hoops they make people jump through. You dont even get PAID.

Here's something you can do online to help out the world at large then:

Helping proofread OCRed text of old classic books of all types no longer under copywrite. I read their books quite a bit. Lots of good info, and proofread 100-150 pages to contribute back.

( http://promo.net/pg/ if you just wanna read the books)
