While not quite as funny as Dave’s Top 10 lists, it’s always interesting to me to see what types of volunteer opportunities people are most drawn to. There seem to be a few common threads (one day projects are always popular) but overall the range is pretty broad. Of the 1,398 volunteer opportunities posted to the UWKC Volunteer Website since the beginning of 2010, the following have been the most popular among visitors to our site. Interestingly, #1 of 2010 was also our #1 listing of 2009!
