How to volunteer by pancreas24601

"I participated in a cooking challenge and volunteered at a clothing sale for a charity."

How I did it: I've done three things now:
-Late last year I helped organize a function for a foundation that provides educational scholarships to LGBT youth, at one of my company’s offices (covered in a previous entry)
-Last week I participated in an apprentice chef challenge at a Melbourne restaurant that trains disadvantaged youth to be chefs. The challenge was corporate teams cooking tarts under the guidance of the head chefs, which were served at that night's thank you function for volunteered and judged. Our team's pie did not win but I was very happy with it!
-Today I volunteered at a clothing sale held by Wear for Success, a Melbourne charity that provides second-hand business clothing, fitting and interview training for people having difficulty re/entering the workforce.
