Volunteering
For many reasons.
Many of us need to practice a skill that we can’t use in the workplace. Volunteering provides the opportunity to do it. Volunteering is often a way to compliment paid work.
I have a degree in earth science, but do not work as a geologist. Volunteering on the water board helps me use those skills and help the community by ensuring that the water supply is stable and clean. At least I try. 
How do you volunteer?
Thinking of volunteering? You might try Volunteer Match or Servenet.
