I agree with those here who have tried to help out & found out resources mostly went to administration & salaries. A local town councilman resigned his council position paying $70K/yr. to accept the local Rec Cross director job paying $325K/yr. During part of my working life, I had to work with the County welfare system. I grew sick of it after seeing all of the waste and fraud built into it. Like others here, I found the most satisfying thing was working with old people. I volunteered to go to rest homes once or twice a week for about two years to discuss current events with groups of residents. We managed to have some wide ranging discussions, and they all looked forward to and really appreciated me coming. Oddly one of the things they enjoyed most wasn't just discussing current events, but when I started reading poetry to them. They loved it, and requested I do some poetry reading for them each time.
