Question

I am looking for volunteer programs/options that are any time during the year in seattle, washington for 14 year olds. Any volunteer program would be great, it just has to be in seattle for 14 year olds.

Answer 1

Check your school. I volunteer with Student Council at my school. Check that out, or National Honor Society, Best Buddies, Key Club, etc... It all depends on what programs your school has. Check with your teachers : )

Answer 2

You can check with the library, parks department, hospitals, etc.

This site might help - I just put in "volunteer Seattle" on the search engine - in case you want to do it yourself and don't trust links.

It is a very good thing that you want to do and I hope you find something very rewarding!

Answer 5

Consider looking into volunteering at the public library. They often have volunteer programs for 13 or 14 years and up shelving books or working with children's programs. I help out on Wed. with a preschool storytime and during the summer with a program where kids can come and read with animals.

Join a girl scout or 4-H club. They have a big emphasis on helping the community.

Also, check out a book called the Helping Hands Handbook.

Answer 7

VolunteerMatch (http://www.volunteermatch.org), Idealist (http://www.idealist.org) and CraigsList (http://www.craigslist.com) all list volunteering opportunities with thousands of organizations, including many in Seattle. There's also this government sponsored site (http://volunteer.gov/gov/) which provides volunteer positions through USA federal land agencies like Fish & Wildlife, Forest Service, National Parks, etc. Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site (http://www.pointsoflight.org/centers/).
