Question

I'm under the age of 16..how do i get involved with the community and volunteer?

Answer 1

There are plenty of things you can do for your community at 16. How about a Jr. Volunteer firefighter, your local youth group, if you have a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter you could volunteer there, how about a big sister for a kid in the neighborhood.

Just look around you and I'm sure you can find plenty of opportunities to volunteer.

Answer 2

My first question for you would be what are you passionate about?  Finding a cure for cancer? Get involved with the American Cancer Society and your local Relay for Life.  Love to excercise?  You can bike, run etc for different charitable organizations... there are tons of marathons out there.  I could go on and on with lists for you.  You should check out volunteer match.  I'll post the link below for you.  Good Luck and Good for you for getting involved at such a young age.... the world needs more people like you!!!

Answer 3

volunteer stacking books at your local library

Answer 4

I don't think age should be a restriction, but in some places they do allow only ppl above 18. But its great to see youngsters having a mind to actually help others. What u could do is find out the charitable society or trust in your area which is involved in social work and try to register with them. In that way ur efforts can be channeled and will yield more results and will be helpful for a larger mass of people. But be patient when you take up community work and be selfless . It would only help u to grow up to be wonderful human being. All the best

Answer 5

You could volunteer to join a group doing indoctrination for children, aiming to teach good lessons for future key generations, through story telling, organising music groups, and food donation groups for poorer children in the society around, hospital visits suiting your young age etc. -- oh, yes, there is always something you can do, given your great attitude and willingness to help out!
