Volunteer - I Want To Volunteer For An Organizations For Disadvantage Children?

Question

I need names of Organizations for the following:

I would like to volunteer in the Los Angeles/California area for an organization that assist with some of the needs of disadvantage children. I am mainly looking to work with an organization that need me to physically do something in the encouragement/assistance of children in the following:

Studies, Sports, Basic necessities of life, or other topics along those lines.

I am not looking to work with children who are ill, I do not feel emotionally prepared for that type of work at this time.

If you know of an Organization(s) please answer.

Thank you,

Answer 1

Boys and Girls Clubs of America will probably always need volunteers.

Our area has afterschool programs that are paid positions.

Check with the police department where you want to volunteer and maybe they can tell you about local organizations who need help.

Answer 2

Check with your local United Way, currently they have several campaigns going on working with local non-profits in the area of early childhood education that includes many of the topics you are interested in.  At their website you can locate the non-profits, find their volunteer opportunities and contact them directly.
