Service Project

I have been really trying to find a place to volunteer this year. I have a little too much time on my hands and decided that would be a great way to use it wisely. Plus, I'm hoping it will give me a chance to meet new people as that has been tougher than you can believe since I've moved to PA. 
Last night I attended a meeting for a group of folks left over from the Obama campaign who want to do community service activities in my area. Sounded perfect but I was one of about 12 who went, women only and I was the youngest by about 15 years. Now I can see the benefit of having a female mentor of sorts, but they are only planning on meeting about once a month and have no idea what projects they want to get started on yet. I need more direction and something I can dive right into. My goal is to have something once a week that I can participate in. Perhaps the public library? I love reading and books. Any ideas would be welcomed...

You should look on idealist.org. They have a huge database of volunteer opportunities across the country...
