Good Volunteer Positions for Physics Majors

[datsyuk]

I was wondering if anyone knows any good volunteer positions for the summer for someone who is doing a physics major. I was looking into tutoring but I can't seem to find many positions since it is close to summer and school is almost finished. Ideally I would have preferred a summer research position but at my university the professors do not like hiring volunteers because they feel they are not motivated enough to do a good job and also a lot of the profs I am interested, work in different countries over the summer. I am also doing a major in microbiology but I am more focused on getting some experience in a physics-related field. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Canada if that helps identifying a good organization to work for.

Maybe volunteer as a docent at a nearby science museum or observatory?
