Summer community service opportunities for a teenager in Columbus, Ohio?

Question

i would like to do community service this summer so i dont have to worry about it during the school year (if possible, a few hours a day)

do you know of any places where it would be good for a teenager to do some [hopefully fun] community service this summer??

Answer 1

There are very many volunteer opportunities in Columbus, Ohio: Libraries, Franklin County Humane Society, Animal Shelter, hospitals, food banks, Meals on Wheels (if you drive) etc.   The best place to get hooked up with a list of opportunities is to contact First Link, which is a clearinghouse for matching people or organizations with needs with those willing to help.  They even have a Youth Volunteer Corps.
