This is a probably a funny question to post on this site but I've started looking at doing a bit of volunteering in my free time away from the office. I began to think about what would be the "best" way to do this as a person with a PhD and the usual range of quant geek skills. Teaching/tutoring math? Volunteering IT skills helping out with a comp lab? Research?

Does any one have any volunteering experiences either positive or negative in this sort of vein where they are using their quant skills?
 
http://www.newyorkcares.org/ does have a good list of volunteer opportunities in NYC where they have tech section as well. Something I saw in the past would be like setup a computer lab for a public high school, or help them with their wireless system.
Should be right in your alley.

And thanks for volunteering your time to help others. We need to do more of that.
 
What subjects can you teach?

I know that in and around NYC (including CUNY colleges -> including Baruch) has a pool for adjunct faculty in many fields. It doesn't pay that well, but they always need bodies. http://www.cuny.edu/employment.html
