This was the opening to a presentation I did for a disaster volunteer organization.
There are literally thousands of organizations where you can volunteer. The easiest way to find the ideal place for you is to seach Google with the following:
Your passion (skating, cooking, computers, etc..)
Then the phrase “volunteer opportunites”
Followed by the name of your State or region

Natan Glassman, 57 years old from Canada, has been spending the past fifteen years, at least two months every year, in IDF bases across Israel wearing IDF work uniforms and completing various tasks, depending on the nature of the base where he was put to work. The most interesting thing about Natan’s story is that he is not alone; not even close. Every year the IDF “drafts” about four thousand volunteers from countries around the world. Volunteers of all ages, from the age of 14 to the age of 92, arrive in Israel as part of the “Sar-El” project for a few weeks’ stay in the IDF. They work in various jobs that the base has to offer, from folding parachutes to organizing reservists’ supply bags.
An IDF Spokesperson camera crew accompanied the latest “Sar-El” group in their journey in Israel, from their landing in Israel, their arrival and stay at their base, ending at their final trip to the Old City of Jerusalem.

I know you can pay to "work" or even get paid to do simple jobs on Archeology digs….is there something similar in Oceangraphy?
If you are talking about doing chemical and physical oceanography, not really. The problem with "volunteers" is that they can quit on you if they get fed up. That tends to be problematic on a ship, since there is no way off if you are out in the middle of an ocean. Therefore, typically, if you go out on a ship to do work, whoever is taking you along will want to pay you and have you under some sort of contract in place so there will be an expectation of performance.
Periodically, openings do come up for jobs as a "warm body" on a cruise (i.e., someone to run very standardized analysis or sample collection), but finding out about these opportunities is not easy. You have to know someone or an institution, and you have to have some very basic scientific skills. A good way to go about getting these connections and an appropriate skill set, if you’re already in college, is through summer intern programs at schools/institutions offering degrees in oceanography. Googling "oceanography intern programs" identifies many of these around the country. If you’re not in college yet, or have graduated, the summer intern programs are a good place to start, asking a school in your area if they have anything for high school or returning students etc.
If you are talking about working with marine creatures and so forth, nearly every public aquarium will have a volunteer program. There is a typically a lot of training you have to do, but then you lead tours, act as docents etc.
As they say, free advice is worth every penny.

I am a college student who is starting to apply for internships in the sports field. I currently work at two jobs, both in the sports industry, but am looking for something else to put on my resume. What kind of volunteer work do employers like seeing? Any help is great appreciated. Thanks a lot!
This first thing I was going to ask you when I saw this question is… What career field are you looking to enter? But since you answered that (sports), I can answer this…
Police Athletic League or you could be a coach or assitant coach for little league, pee-wee (pop warner?) football… Find something that is loosely related to your field.
What are you planning to do in the sports industry? If it’s PR for teams then really any volunteer work in PR will look good. (of course PR for the Police Athletic League would look even better.)
Good Luck.

Today I was doing some volunteer service today and i heard someone say that,i think, 100 hrs can help you get a scholarship..
if so,is it 100?
or more?
Hell yeah! Universities absolutely love students with community service! Thats a big thing to them! As for how much, GET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! 100 hours is seriously a lot, and thats probably all you need! But do as much as you can, the more the better!

Also, do a large number of Americans participate in volunteer organizations?
I would appreciate if I got educated and intelligent answers back, thanks in advance!
Volunteer organizations help establish communities and also helps citizens to respect each other. It also helps to break down social barriers and learn about each other as U.S. citizens. Volunteer organizations were also the crutch of our country. Without volunteer organizations we:
1. Would not have a United States of America.
(The Minutemen and other U.S. soldiers who fought the British were a militia made up of volunteers)
2. Volunteers helped form the backbone of our healthcare and education system.
Many men and women who were our first nurses and teachers were volunteers.
3. Volunteer organizations help establish the spiritual backbone of our country.
Many of the first Churches and Ministers of those churches were built by volunteers within the community. (This is the time before the evangelical mega church nonsense)
Many towns and communities had small churches with ministers who lived off the charity of the community.
4. Volunteers help citizens in times of need. From the times of the Great Depression to Hurricane Katrina, it was volunteers NOT THE FEDERAL GOVT. who helped hundreds of thousands of people to get food and supplies.
5. Volunteers instill pride in our country. Examples of this include The Boys and Girls Scouts of America, U.S. military, and the American Red Cross.
I personally think it should be MANDATORY for all youth to join a volunteer AND participate in their communities. It will help prevent crime and instill community pride. Perhaps if more youth were helping to feed the hungry, cutting grass of the elderly, less would be obese, less would find trash such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears interesting, and even more would have patriotic pride in BUILDING UP AMERICA AND NOT TEARING IT DOWN!
