Do you work with a specific community or organization, or just take opportunities as they come up?

What type of volunteer work do you like to do? Do you like the stuff where you are just a warm body - someone to hold a sign or greet people? Or more involved tasks that are more like professional work? What about shudders door knocking?

    I volunteer at an “intergenerational meetup” and try to explain to older folks how computers and the Internet work. Every two weeks for 2 hours.

    Did door knocking as a child to collect money for war memorials in Germany.

      This is my least favorite activity.

      That said, I think it’s because the people I do it with are not willing to learn.

        It’s different from IT support for e.g. my mom. It’s also more in the form of lectures and I might give a little IT support afterwards.
