Details or Sample:

Sometimes, you don’t have the free time to commit to a set volunteering schedule. In these cases, you can still make a difference in your community by committing to one-time projects. This is especially helpful when you’re trying to help children. Something that you do for them today could still affect them twenty, forty, or even eighty years from now.

If you’re looking for one-time things that you can do when a little extra time shows up on your schedule, consider these things.

• Working on a playground project, or something similar. You might help clean up the work area, bring food to the carpenters, or even help repair or build the equipment yourself. Any contribution you make to the project will be useful, so look for a way to capitalize on your talents and skills.

• Giving your time when everybody is preparing to go back to school. School-supply drives are great ways to make sure that local children are prepared for the new school year. You might not have money, but you can still help. The organization probably needs somebody to do things like unload donations, help with paperwork, et cetera.

• Volunteering your time at the local library. Many libraries have special events. You might help with a one-act play that the children produce, for example, or help redecorate the children’s section. Your local librarian will have all the information that you need about helping kids in your community.

• Checking out local after-school centers. Though many centers have established routines, many will hold special events. Their coordinator or other volunteer can fill you in on these so that you can decide if volunteering is right for you.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. If you pay attention to community calendars and message boards, or contact your local library, you will surely find many other, one-time activities that could benefit from your participation.
