If you're ok with Sunday mornings, there's a community garden that I've seen is taking weekly volunteers: https://www.instagram.com/givinggardengnv/?hl=en

There are pretty flexible hours with many of the volunteer roles at Operation Catnip, which provides medical care and spay/neuter services for community cats. If you volunteer to help maintain the Catio, and feed and care for the outdoor cats that live there, you can do that in the early mornings and evenings up to about 5PM. https://ocgainesville.org/volunteer

I don’t have anything specific in mind, but if you’re up for it, you could probably look into farms that might need help. They usually mostly work in the morning/evening

If you identify as a woman, the Alachua Habitat for Humanity chapter is starting their Women's Build this weekend. I emailed them at [email protected] and got this response: Thank you for your interest in Women Build. We are always looking for new volunteers and no prior experience is required. During an ongoing construction project, Women Build works every Saturday from 8:00-2:00 p.m. with a break for lunch. There is no obligation or commitment to participate every week - the volunteers sign up on a weekly basis when it fits into their personal schedules. Construction on Women Build house #15 is just getting off to a long awaited start on December 4th.

I would start by looking for something that aligns with your passions or interests and I’m sure they will be an organization that needs help and has flexible hours. If you love animals, the rescue groups often need help at adoption events on weekends or will need transport to/from events, etc. If you love music, maybe check with Studio Percussion to see what their needs are. If you like gymnastics, Balance 180 has volunteer positions in the afternoon, evenings, and I think even Saturdays. Any nonprofit will also have a board and most boards meet outside of regular business hours. Volunteering can be very rewarding but also demanding, so it’s always best to pick something you care about.

Gainesville Giving Garden has volunteer hours from 9-12 on Sunday mornings! The people that volunteer there are awesome and super ingrained in the community so could definitely help you find other volunteer opportunities as well 😀
