Volunteering

I am looking into volunteering at galleries etc as I'm still unsure how involved I want to be with the practical side of art when I leave college, but working with/near art would still be very fun. Since I am intending to work part time anyway I should be able to manage volunteering every so often and this could even help me with networking.
