IT Employment

Non-profits and public organizations (especially public schools) are the best place to find volunteer work. I commend you for not wanting to sit on your rear while waiting for another job. But I think you're being too picky in trying to find a perfect match between your needs and in what the organization needs. You want to keep active, even if you work for free, while you look for a real job. Any experience is better than no experience. It will also impress a prospective employer that you are willing to do anything at all to keep your skills sharp. It's only volunteer work, so if a better volunteer gig comes up, you are free to take that (but be careful to not leave the first organization high and dry with a half-done, undocumented development job). The organization that you volunteer for may eventually offer you a full-time job, work matching your true career aspirations may arise there and best of all, you might make contacts there that could earn you a job elsewhere. The more people that are familiar with your work, the better it is, as long as you do quality work and come to work with a good attitude.

As you may have discovered, local non-profits simply don't want to be saddled with custom software, even if the labor is free. Are you willing to provide on-going support for the code you write, even after you find a job and possibly move out of the area? Not to insult you, but they have as much need for your skills as they have for a 747.

relocate to Northern VA....if you can get high security clearance, then you're more valuable. Check out dice.com as they have the most complete listings for the state of VA....check it also for KY. I noticed that there were several .NET openings in Louisville, KY. Good Luck!
