Is anyone involved in any organizations in Baton Rouge that you enjoy being a part of? I have some spare time and I think I should do something productive with it. Thanks.

Just contact an organization you're interested in directly. I build sets for the local little theatre...I just called them and told them I wanted to help support them, they said come on by. It was pretty darn easy.

I really enjoyed my time playing with dogs at the animal shelter, had to stop because of other obligations but as soon as I have more time I plan on going back.

I joined APO (Alpha Phi Omega) which is a service fraternity. They usually do volunteer things around BR and campus.
Habitat for humanity is a good place to start as well. Boys and girls club, theyre always looking for help.

So I can still be a frat star after I graduate?

I know you asked about Baton Rouge, but maybe there is something similar. I volunteer for something in Memphis called Arise 2 Read where I go to schools and read with 2nd grade kids who are behind on their reading.

I volunteered there in '13 &14, helped clients look for work, apply for jobs, use the computer.
Randy is great to work with. I should probably go back.
VIPS,-volunteers in public schools. If you'd enjoy mentoring, reading, general school work with a student. Very rewarding!
Illiteracy is a huge factor in homelessness obviously. And every kid that learns to read has better chance to make it.
You could probably just Google volunteer baton rouge & check out the list.

Go to a VFW and make friends with a bunch of crazy Nam Vets. They may let you call bingo.
The VFW also burns unused bingo cards..after reading the McD Monopoly article, I have a great idea.

Look into Civil Air Patrol. Squadrons in Baton Rouge, Ascension and other parishes in the state.
Don't have to be a pilot, they need and teach aerial photography, navigation, ground/electronic search, cell phone forensics and they have a need for support roles in Finance, Personnel, Public Affairs, Legal, Logistics, etc.
