I volunteer as a receptionist at a free-entry-but-donations-funded art gallery. Probably the most comfortable volunteer position anyone will ever have, as it's really flexible with my university commitments.
Surprisingly, something I really like about it is seeing all the people there and getting to talk to them, and the work environment is very nice. There are a lot of responsibilities involved too, which is both good and bad, but I like that I get to sit in front of a laptop and check emails when I'm not greeting people or selling stuff.
I considered door knocking in the past, thinking I had no choice because the ecosystem of different volunteer roles wasn't that varied. Glad that I didn't, it's definitely shudder inducing. It's also kind of hard to see it as useful. Although, I did almost volunteer to do it for a fledgling political party I used to belong too, and I would've followed through on that.
