Computer coach: Assist people in a computer lab. Coaches need to have computer skills, patience and the desire to work with people new to the computer. They also should be able to troubleshoot problems with Windows, Word and the Internet. Experience with Quicken would be helpful.

Docent: Teach, lead tours and interpret the fascinations of the desert at a local park and through community outreach. An 18-week course of study is required.

Kids' activity educator: Combat childhood obesity and learn how to help children lead a healthy, active lifestyle. Design and/or help teach a physical activity curriculum to children and families at monthly Kidz Kamps - free classes for families that focus on nutrition, physical education and healthy habits.

Visit survivors: Enrich the lives of Holocaust survivors through social contact and companionship. With limited transportation options available, many of these seniors are isolated and have little or no family in Tucson. Most speak English but some speak only Russian, so if you have Russian language skills, this is a good opportunity to practice.

Education assistant: Volunteer at a museum where antique and contemporary miniatures are displayed. Help staff develop interpretive tools for use in the galleries to ensure the miniatures will be shared in an entertaining and interactive way with community members of all ages. Education assistants work well with the public and as part of a team, encourage imagination, support inquiry and are detail-oriented.
