Where is the best place to look for less general and more specialised volunteering?

Hunting

I know Do.It and Do.it.Life exists, I've tried Reach volunteering but they want skilled volunteers with experience.

I'm looking for anything in tech, analysis, graphic design, digital art, etc. So It Support, Networking, Python data analysis, GIS, energy and gas, renewable energies, graphic design, concept art.

I'm not able to find more specialized volunteering in different sectors that isn't directly skilled volunteering (meaning you have to have skilled work experience to volunteer). I really need to improve my skills and gain some form of experience.

What other sites are there?

You’d probably be best off approaching companies or organisations that you’re interested in directly and explain your situation and interests - this will probably work better for smaller organisations.

Lots of volunteer opportunities are listed on guardian jobs and W4MP as well but quite a few will require some experience.

I am willing.

Where does one find such? I have had an unpaid internship in the past but it was specifically through intensive networking with a start-up and have connections to help me get in front of someone who was interested.

Sadly it didn't last long due to Covid.
