How old should I be to volunteer at a nursing home?

Question

I have been wanting to help out my community, and this seemed like a good thing to do. I am in 8th grade, is this too young? I would really like to do it, and I love old people! All answers are greatly appreciated, I am forever grateful! Thank you SO much and God bless you all!

Answer 1

for the place i help out at, the age limit is at least 13, so you should be fine. go ahead and ask anyways. places like that lik ehaving young people help out

Answer 2

I think if you want to help out and love it then do it! If its in your heart and you want to volunteer at a nursing home then go for it. It sounds like you are a mature young person so its a good idea!

Answer 3

Nursing homes take volunteers of all ages. Call the place you are interested in and ask about volunteering. They will tell you the rules and regulations. I think it's wonderful that you would like to do that. You can go to a senior high rise and find out about playing cards or board games with the residents.

Good for you for caring about old folks.
