<p>I'm a rising soph and I'm looking for a place to start volunteering over the summer. I live in a pretty rural area and because I'm one of the youngest in my class, I can't drive. Where can I go to ask about volunteering opportunities in my area, or what are some "staples" that every area has available?</p>
<p>Hospital, food bank, library, Salvation Army/Goodwill, place of worship, animal shelter, child care center, nursing home/assisted living.</p>
