Question

What are some volunteer things (if any), that a 16 year old girl can do in Melbourne?

Answer 1

Become a member of a local life saving club.  Aged care facilities are always looking for people to help in their leisure departments.  Schools are always holding working bees.  I remember my son having to do a community placement at school as part of his curriculum.  I think it's wonderful teenagers get involved i helping out their own community, not everything is about money. Good luck.

Answer 2

Why not try becoming a youth helper with Scouts Australia, you would be helping to look after the younger ones aged from 6yrs to 11 yrs and you will learn a lot along the way.

look them up on the net, Scouts are for girls and boys. good luck.

Answer 3

16 is too young.

You can choose to volunteer for Community Work if you are aged 18 years to 49 years and have received Newstart or Youth Allowance for six months.

I don't agree with the age personally - if you want to volunteer I believe you should be able too.  

Another site to look at is http://www.govolunteer.com.au

What about Retirement homes, helping the aged care with just company, or at your local library?
