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 [http://www.meetup.com/find/?allMeetups=true&radius=5&userFreeform=toronto&gcResults=Toronto%2C+ON%2C+Canada%3ACA%3AOntario%3AToronto+Division%3AToronto%3Anull%3Anull%3A43.653226%3A-79.38318429999998|Toronto%2C+PE+C0A%2C+Canada%3ACA%3APrince+Edward+Island%3AQueens+County%3AToronto%3Anull%3Anull%3A46.452469%3A-63.379966999999965&sort=default] SemanticMantis (talk) 21:51, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

• Take it to the talk page, Medeis. I see no request for opinion. Dismas|^(talk) 23:34, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

• Very mature, Medeis. Dismas|^(talk) 01:44, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

: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)

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

:::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)
