Any of you do volunteer work besides online?

If so what kind of volunteer work?

I was a volunteer on an animal shelter before entering to college, unfortunately college was very demanding so I had to gave up, however, I do visit them occasionally and help out with whatever I can.
The devil will find work for idle hands to do.

I strongly believe in helping out others. I volunteer monthly at the Michigan Food Bank and Carriage Town ministries in Flint, Michigan USA. And, I do the Santa thing every year for the kids at an orphanage and also a school for the blind every year, also in Flint.
I am a building contractor by trade so I also help out when ever I can helping build houses for the needy with HUD (Housing and Urban Development) and FNIPP (Flint Neighborhood Improvement and Preservation Project)

I try to stay busy.  ;D

I try to give tips for interviews and teach some coding skills to some of my college juniors in my free time.

TBH, these days I completely stuck in my official schedules and my all sorts of Volunteer activities have been stand still. Hope to get back to old golden days :P.

I volunteer for a rescue service in my home city.
Please don't PM me for support unless asked as they'll be ignored.
