Can somebody more net savy than myself find good sites with information on how to volunteer to clean this atomic crap mess we have going on with oil?

I don't think it should be called "volunteer" work...if you are cleaning up their mess, document ever hour you spend and keep a receipt for any equipment you buy. You are an environmental worker, not a volunteer.

Volunteers not on the Gulf Coast - At this time we have enough local volunteers to handle the opportunities that have been identified. Please save your travel resources for now.
Note: On May 28, 2009 at 14:50 CDT a BP representative from the Houston office called and requested that this paragraph be removed. It remains. It is an accurate and honest statement about the current situation here on the Coast.
Oiled Wildlife Caution: Do not attempt oil cleanup work without training and the required safety equipment. The oil waste is a toxic material and can pose a threat. This OSHA handbook for oil spill cleanup will explain. OSHA regulations require that oil spill cleanup personnel have HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) certification. Read about the issue of training and oil cleanup here.
That site is crazy. But you would need training to even get on a beach where clean up is happening. What a mess.
