I've been searching for awhile to find a volunteer opportunity that would be a good fit for me- something I'm interested in, something that's consistent (weekly or monthly), something in Minneapolis.

I've been checking out volunteermatch.com but there are so many things to pick from, and many of the opportunities listed are one-time events. I want something consistent.

Anyone have any good suggestions of organizations that might fit what I'm looking for? Maybe you've had a good experience volunteering somewhere? Or you know of an organization that could always use an extra hand?

I found one that sounded really cool, called Special Spaces. They choose deserving kids with illnesses and redecorate their rooms. I'm a crafty person and would enjoy helping kids. I reached out to the organization a few times and never heard anything back. That was discouraging.

HandsOn Twin Cities is a good site/org. Home | Minnesota Council of Nonprofits regularly posts board opportunities as well. If you say a little more about your skills, interests, and what you hope to contribute, it might spark a few more ideas from folks!

Since you said crafty, I'd consider the Children's Museum, Leonardo's Basement, Animal Humane Society (education department..help with birthdays or scout groups), Banyan Community, and People Serving People (children's programs). I'm sure there are tons of others too.
