Question

Do you know any places I (and maybe my 12 year old) can do some volunteer work in Brooklyn NYC?

Answer 1

You should check with your child's school.They may have a list of places to apply.Also try the library and a nursing home.How great you want to teach your child that volunteering is a wonderful thing to do.Also ask about it at your church.

Answer 2

Contact your local Kiwanis Club.  The Kiwanis welcomes students to volunteer with various activities.  We have the Key Club, which is specifically for students.

Answer 3

Call around to a few Churches.  They will tell you where and when the food pantry is open.  That is a great place for young people to help with unpacking and stacking shelves and filling orders.
