My wife is an accountant, so during tax season I'm a "single parent" for practical purposes. Right now my 6 year daughter is reading books, so I could sneak into the garage and remove the freewheel (tool came today).
So driving all over town and volunteering would not work. I only get a few hours of "free time" every week during tax season, and rather ride my bike (don't have enough time for that as is). Maybe late at night when she sleeps I can tinker a bit around, but I definitely can't go somewhere to volunteer. if you don't have kids or other dependents, and/or are retired... yes sounds like a good program to volunteer for.
