The key to this is finding something sustainable. You’ll quickly discover that all the organizations near your area have the same group of people volunteering. Once you have friends and it’s somewhere walking distance… It’s easy to show up

be it feeding people, youth outreach, helping people move, the library, community gardens…the possibilities are endless and of course vary. i volunteer for the art program offered by a shelter near me so it’s possible to balance any interests of yours with doing good! take the time to research opportunities that speak to you.
some other helpful ideas: pick a grassroots organization you really resonate with and donate/promote as regularly as you can...read tricky things and have those tricky conversations...learn a domestic or community building skill such as sewing...
best of luck and don’t get too wrapped up in the “size” of the impact of your actions, because a little help is better than none :)

i've found that volunteering can be a really wonderful way to find community and make a positive change and you can choose an issue that you're passionate about - i know that some organizations have age requirements but there are a lot that don't!

Volunteering is usually a good start. An activity that orients you toward something real & decent. Tends to attract real & decent people. Back when I lived at home, I volunteered at my local library’s saturday morning used book sale. They held it in the basement. You could buy any book you wanted for a dollar. It was mostly staffed by very old, very sweet people who loved reading. Holocaust survivors, retired English teachers, grandmas & grandpas all of them. Incredible people. Got first dibs on a lot of cool books too— a huge plus. Maybe scope out the sitch @ ur local church, library, animal shelter, etc.

If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
