Where do you find new volunteer opportunities?
I'm currently unemployed, and in a bit of a pity party. I'm thinking that volunteering for a larger effort would at least get me focused externally, and keep from wallowing in my "not good enough"-ness, as well as potentially being useful to others.
Last year, I volunteered for a work-related effort, and while that was fun, it required a weekly hour's drive in each direction. I'm not particularly tuned in to my community as I usually work 45-60 minutes from my home towards a metropolitan area and most of my friends and acquaintances are out there as well. I also don't have children.
How might this introvert find out about possible volunteer opportunities that would suit my skills and temperament? FYI- For work, I manage software testers, and have skills in sequencing work, and making processes simpler. For play, I like to garden particularly with herbs.
