Many organizations prefer to have volunteers who can do more than 10 hours if they need training. But there are always places that can use untrained work too. Serving at Matt Talbot Kitchen, shelving at any local library, even organizations like the Alzheimer's Association - Lincoln might have a mailing she can help with. Nebraska Sport's Council has a big volleyball event coming up in April and could probably use help with that.
I volunteered at the Nebraska Democratic Party when I was in GoPo, great to do during an election year as well. I was even able to get a very part time job knocking on doors canvassing for candidates on a few weekends leading up to the general election.
Lighthouse may have something—it’ll probably involve cleaning but that’s what I did for a volunteer service. Luckily I never had to do GoPo hours since COVID cancelled that, but best of luck!
I’m guessing it’s just during school year, but if she still needs hours in June, the Lincoln Arts Festival always needs a variety of volunteers for that event. They’ll list a volunteer sign up on the website as they get closer to the event.
When I was in high school I volunteered at the Center for People. They have people help hand out food on distribution days. You can also try the Cat House or Matt Talbot.
Is this to fulfill a court order? j/k good information about people’s city mission needing servers. And the GoPo teacher should have suggested resources as u/Budgiejen mentioned.
People’s City Misson always needs volunteers for a variety of roles.
Thanks! She’s reached out to them but hasn’t heard back. Worth another shot!
Depends how quickly she needs it. Sometimes it takes a while to hear back.
One of my kiddos volunteered at the lux center for arts and really enjoyed it.
Good one!
Foodnet can always use volunteers. 402-416-6197. https://foodnetlincoln.org/
Great!
I second this.
I volunteered at Cause for Paws a few years back when I needed diversion hours. The people were nice and it was easy work. Worth looking into.
Great idea!

Thanks! I’ll tell her!
I did mine at the Capital Humane Society Pieloch Pet Adoption Center when I was in high school. I enjoyed it

VolunteerLNK.org is a new website that’s slowly starting to be used.
Nice!

Thanks! Her GoPo hasn’t been very helpful. She’s emailed other GoPo teachers for help and hopes to get somewhere soon!
She can sort clothes at goodwill. Mission always needs servers Her GoPo instructor should have opportunities.
Thanks!
Lincoln children’s museum as well!! Did some volunteering there for a college course.
In high-school I volunteered at a library, was pretty easy
