If you’re volnuteering you might as well do something you think you’d enjoy.

I’m looking into some voluntary work at the moment too.

Good luck. I hope you find something that suits you!

Anything you want to do! As long as you are up to the task, why limit yourself?

One of the volunteering opportunities I do is volunteer at the volunteer centre processing applications for volunteers and scheduling posts on social media.

I unloaded trucks when I was in my mid-thirties. I was a park ranger for two years in my forties. I’ve stocked shelves, I’ve washed dishes, cooked, cleaned hot tubs. I’ve worked in warehouses, moved furniture, recycled materials. I’ve been at my current janitor job for 5 years and it’s the easiest job I’ve ever had. The people I work with are OK, I get to work by myself most of the time, it pays relatively decent and has other positive things to it.

They can give lectures and speak about their experience. They can host supportgroups for mental illness patients.

Or just work as a janitor.

No, but I do try to help friends with mental illness (when I have them) or acquaintances when I can.

Depends on ones interests.

Visiting the elderly. Making and answering phone calls. Leading groups. Running an outreach website. Socializing on the web.
