Help me find a good place to volunteer in los angeles.
I've been doing some searches and there just seems to be so many. A few things I'd like, but don't have to particularly have..
-Gay rights/Civil Rights/Left Leaning Politics
-Being around people my age [mid 20s]
-I work well with kids, taught kids when I was younger
-I'd need to work in the evening/weekend [9-5 job]
Also, I live in Hollywood if that helps at all.

I volunteered several times with Reading to Kids and had a lot of fun. It's one Saturday every month, and the volunteers usually get together afterwards at El Cholo for lunch & whatnot.
Somewhat more of a time commitment is Los Angeles Team Mentoring, which has weekly after-school meetings during the school year. My husband did it for several years and liked it a lot.
