Answer 3

Answer 4

Cleaning streets,helping old people ... :D:D:D

Answer 5

If you are curious about a certain career maybe you can work at a place that you would be exposed to what the workers are doing while you are getting your service points. You can go to hospitals, nursing homes, schools. I have worked with sick people & I felt needed but I think it is healtier working in a school.

Answer 6

My standard response:

In and around schools, you can:

* create picnic tables or benches for the school campus - for high school / middle / or elementary

* repaint the lines on the outdoor [basketball/volleyball/ hopscotch/4 corner etc.] court - for high / middle / elementary

* repaint any of the jungle gym type equipment that exist at most elementary schools

* paint a mural on a wall inside

* help put away library books

* do some fundraising!  how do you do that - and have a good time at the same time?  get pictures of instructors and set up a contest where students vote for their favorite teacher - each cent counts as 1 vote.  The winner gets...something trivial.

Community:

* check churches

* check hospitals

* check old-folks' homes

* check animal shelters...or combine 2 things - take your dog/cat to an old folks' home!

* check local branches of national organizations (American red cross, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Race for the Cure, 4-H, etc.)

* check with the chamber of commerce

* check with the Mayor's office

* check with the local parks and rec office

* call your local Boy Scout / Girl Scout troop - because potential Eagle / Gold scouts have to run a service project and often need people-power to make it happen

* reading for the blind

* read books to children in daycare

Answer 7

On most high school campuses there ate student associations/student govt. either offered as a club, or as a class.  If it's offered as a club, go to a meeting and get information about what student govt. does in the community...student govt. normally has a lot of volunteer opportunities.

Also, many areas have a Snowline Hospice store, which is basically a thrift store.  They're always looking for volunteers.  

You may also want to try the library, see if there's a way you could volunteer to read to kids.  Most of the time with reading programs in libraries you may need to be fingerprinted and there's usually a background check.

Also try looking for soup kitchens and nursing homes.

If you like animals try the local humane society, or zoo.  With a zoo you might not get to interact with the animals, you'll probably be working with young kids, or doing paperwork/office jobs.
