I have volunteered at a few places also. Obviously nowhere near as much as you have, but I've been to homeless shelters and nursing homes. Those types of places aren't my type of thing though. If I volunteer my time, I prefer to see change.

One of my professors at the time was an ADA (assistant district attorney) and I had worked in law before I went into medical. One day we were talking after class and he told me about CASA. Look it up in your area - they most likely have one where you're at. Some of our CASA volunteers fly to different states (if their child moved), which is provided by Angel Flight.

Every year, Dallas CASA throws a huge Christmas party to show their volunteers appreciation. Another thing I loved was delivering Christmas gifts to my kid. Here is a picture on the right is me at the CASA building picking up gifts for my kid. The one on the left is when I visited another Children's Advocacy Center. Definitely something I'd recommend others to look into!
