Good thread idea. It came at a perfect time too because I am involved in a "leadership" program in the town I live in and one of the requirements to graduate from this program is to put in some time volunteering. I find it a little odd that this is a requirement because many facilitators of the program stated that you have to really be interested in the organization you are volunteering for or you are just wasting your time and the organization's. But, I do agree that it is a good way to get people to volunteer that normally wouldn't, like me, so I'm really trying to figure out what organization would be a good fit for me. I'll be watching this thread closely and hopefully others will chime in with their experiences.
