Community Service Project ideas??

Question

Hi!

I have to do 8 hours of community service around the city. I already asked the public library if I could help out, but they only accept students 15 and older (I'm 13). Do you have any ideas for what I can do for my Community Service project for school?

Thanks!!

:)

Answer 1

U have to be atleast 14.

Answer 2

Actually, try something unique maybe. I know lots of young kids help the elderly, it's nice and all. But there's no such thing as too young to do something completely original.

Try going from door to door in your neighborhood with a friend and ask the head of each house one simple question. "What do you propose the city/local government could do to make your town better?"   Keep a list of all the responses with signatures and submit it to the mayor of your town.

You will be enhancing the people in your community's ability to have a say in what happens in their community and effect direct democracy. That would be a noble thing to do, and there's no age minimum for that.

Answer 3

food bank

daycare

any place that is non-for profit

maybe you could help elderly in their homes

Answer 4

Each of these services list opportunities with many different organizations; the first one is the most popular:

VolunteerMatch, http://www.volunteermatch.org

Idealist, http://www.idealist.org

Change.org, http://www.change.org

CraigsList, http://www.craigslist.com

Network for Good, http://www.networkforgood.org

http://www.1-800-volunteer.org/

ServeNet, http://servenet.org/

Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site, http://www.pointsoflight.org/centers/

There's also this government sponsored site, http://volunteer.gov/gov/ which provides volunteer positions through USA federal land agencies like Fish & Wildlife, Forest Service, National Parks, etc.

If you want to be a volunteer to help with the consequences of a natural disaster, such as Hurricane Katrina, you need to register and prepare NOW. Here's a web site where you can register and start your preparation so that you can help the next time disaster strikes (and most programs that require community service will count your training for disasters as service hours):

Answer 5

Go to a nursing home to take old people.

Answer 6

Can you plant flowers around your city???

Answer 7

try working and ask for communtiy service hours at picking up trash at the local park or see if you can go to a nursing home. Talk to an adult at shcool because i am sure that they have many papers that they want to get rid of and i am sure that you can do communtiy service at the school, just ask the front office.
