I need help with this please?

Question

i attend a scholl where it is manditory to volunteer at places, i have one but on the cold days we arent able to go because it involves working outside. does any one know of any Greenhouses that accept volunteers, and what are the age requirements for there, if not at the gree nhouse then a daycare in Arvada, along with how old you hjave to be to volunteer there. thank you for your help and time

Answer 1

Hospitals will usually take volunteers to do a variety of things such as read to the pediatric patients, help deliver flowers and/or food to patients rooms.  Plus it is inside so the weather will not affect if you can go or not.

Call around to different places and see if they need help

Answer 2

Some of the ideas already given were pretty good, but how about asking your guidance counselor for some ideas?  Since the school requires it, I'm sure you aren't the first person who wasn't sure about where to get started; they should have a list of places you can go where they'll have a variety of issues that may interest you.  When i was in high school, we had to do this and my counselor was very helpful with this.

Answer 3

There are some community-garden-related nonprofits in many areas, but I'm not sure about yours, since I have no idea where "Arvada" is.

These databases list opportunities all over the USA:

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.

Answer 4

What about tutoring the younger children or reading to them.

Since you only gave the city not the state, it is a little difficult to help you

Answer 5

You can find local volunteer opportunities here:

I don't think gardening is what your school means by volunteering.
