Student government?

Question

Ok, well this is my first time ever getting involved in something besides sports. I want to do something for abused animals maybe a contribution thing at school. Where would I go to enforce this idea, i have no idea where to start. Also any other ideas for something to help the community would be good. Or any ideas for something my school could do for wounded soldiers. I'm new to this whole thing

Answer 1

well im in student council in my high school so maybe i can help. i would Recommend going to a local animal shelter for or maybe one of those shelters that takes in battered animals and helping them out alittle. or you can raise money ( maybe llike thru a dance) for the shelter b/c i think they are still gonna need money to provide those animals food and stuff. urge peole to adpot animals from those shelters, i dont know my ideas sound kinda basic, but they could go a long way! you can also check out this website to get more info. or possibly donate some money to.
