Am I Old Enough To Volunteer At A Retirement Home?

Question

I'm pretty young at age 11, but I really want to work at a retirement home or at the humane society. The retirement home I would only help with small things such as getting them water or snacks and keep them company. Is that possible for me? I know I can work at the humane society right now, but I live kind of far away and I live near a retirement home.
