Teen Volunteering!?!?

Question

Im 15 years old and my parents told me that i should volunteer somewhere to get community service hours. What are some cool places to volunteer in Surprise Arizona?????

Answer 1

Your local animal shelter. They always need more hands.

Answer 2

Check your local United Way chapter, they may have some good suggestions. Many charities do require that teens be 16 or older to volunteer --- so be open and flexible about possible assignments.

Is there a type of volunteer project that concerns you? Like working with kids? Or animals? Or senior citizens? If there is a cause or an issue that you really care about --- that is also a great place to start, every organization wants to hear from potential volunteers that care about what they do.

Finally -- when you look to volunteer, think of your special talents and skillls. I used to coordinate volunteers for a center -- and so many people have lots of talents they don't even think about! One teen came in to sing Broadway show tunes and another came in to do magic shows -- both were big hits at our center, but neither were things they originally came up with doing --- so make a list of all the things you like to do, and consider what you could do as a volunteer. You never know what talent you could use as a volunteer. :)

Happy volunteering! :)
