November 18[edit]

organizations to join[edit]

Hi,

I am a gigantic loser. I am looking for an organization to join. I don't care what they do, I just want to be a part of something. I am 46, live near Toronto Canada. Even the French Foreign Legion will not take me.

What organization will take anybody?

Within 5 miles of Toronto, you can meet an over 40 club or play board games today. You can go to a cultural event tomorrow, or "try new things" next week. These and many other "meetups" are open to all, and you can browse them at the Meetup_(website), here [1] SemanticMantis (talk) 21:51, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removed email, suggest someone hat, or better remove the entire post. μηδείς (talk) 23:18, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Take it to the talk page, Medeis. I see no request for opinion. Dismas|^(talk) 23:34, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - The user is now blocked, Dismas, but thanks for the suggestion. I have started a discussion here at the talk page to further discuss this. μηδείς (talk) 18:53, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Very mature, Medeis. Dismas|^(talk) 01:44, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are many organizations that accept volunteers. Soup kitchens, animal shelters, homeless shelters, etc. And each will give opportunities to meet other people. Dismas|^(talk) 23:32, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are a large number of groups, catering for most tastes and locales, listed on sites such as meetup.com. CS Miller (talk) 12:57, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a link to a website that lists many volunteer opportunities in Toronto [2]. SemanticMantis (talk) 15:43, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Volunteering isn't for total losers, though. If you don't do the work, they won't want you back. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:10, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
