I feel the need to help people in need. I am witnessing so many people dying around me and I see that the only thing that truly matters in life is to leave a better world behind us.
The problem is that I have a full time job and I couldn’t find any organization I could join at night only or in weekends. The only thing I’m doing is donating to charities but I feel it’s not enough.

I don’t know about your local area and associated limitations but I can speak more generally.
Volunteering your time is a really rewarding thing and it can feel better than donating money. But that is feeling better for you. If you have specific skills, for example web development, then volunteering your time in that expert capacity can be very helpful. If that skillset is not needed then using that skillset to generate funds to donate is more effective. Your efforts are not fungible, but money is, meaning the organisation can use the effect of your efforts in the most beneficial way for their goals, even if it is not a good match for your skills.
Considering specific hours of your work as volunteering hours and donating those hours of earning may help you get the feeling you need, feeling like you are helping and involved, while turning that effort into something useful for the cause you care about.
