Where can teens volunteer?

Question

I'm not quite old enough to work in Arizona.In Arizona you have to be 16 to work and I'm 14. So I was wondering where I could volunteer. Like hospitals, libraries and stuff like that. I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I want to have good things on my resume.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Well i am in Ohio but when I was in high school I vounteered my time at nursing homes in the activities department or I would volunteer at the local fairs for cleanup.  If you want your resume to look good you should try to put together a few "plant a tree" or "clean a park/freeway" projects together.

Answer 2

A local church. Even if your not religious.

Answer 3

Salvation Army

Answer 4

Animal Shelter?

Answer 5

if i was 14 and wanted to volunteer then I would work somewhere charitable and not at a library.  charities always look better on your resume bc it shows your concern for the community.

Answer 6

Check with the local Kiwanis.  We welcome volunteers, such as you!

Answer 7

Meals on Wheels, Kiwanis, Salvation Army...a big one for me is boys and girls club of America. It was so rewarding and would look really good on a resume :)

Answer 8

A library is a perfect place because it is somewhere that everyone in the community kind of part owns. A church is also a good place. Try babysitting, a local park, the pool. There are always needy neighbors around. Helping them is rewarding because the look on their faces when you're done is priceless. Good luck!
