Create a website where all the community organsiations can post their requests for volunteers with the skills, times and locations which are needed. This will make it much easier to volunteer in your local area as well as make use of any special skills that you may have.

For an example of such a website already operating, see Baltimore's Volunteer Central (http://www.volunteercentral.net/). For an example of the benefits that volunteering brings, see the speach by Dave Eggers about his program for local community members to help tutor school kids in reading and writing (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/233).

One pre-condition I would say though to such a website being successful though is setting it up in a way that is very easy and inviting to use. Perhaps Google Australia or the companies that run job-finding websites can help out here. Do you find this valuable?
