Ways to volunteer in North Carolina?

Question

this summer when most 14 year olds want to get summer jobs i want to make a difference with kids with cancer.I dont want to do like everybody says and just give money.I have looked at the website to victory junction gang camp but you have to be atleast 19 to even be around the children at the camp

so does anybody have any suggestions to how i could volunteer this summer?

Answer 1

Go to www.cancer.org and look for a Relay for Life in your area.  There might even be one for high school students.  Even if there is only a community one, they always need help.  Help run the kids area.  It's a lot of fun and very rewarding.
