Where is the best place to do community service at??

Question

like most fun. least boring. an animal shelter sounds kinda hot. what exactly do you do when volunteering at an animal shelter though?? or got any other ideas?

no homeless shelters. too sad.

Answer 1

At the animal shelter you walk the dogs or socialize with cats in the play room.Basically you are having fun while getting your comm. serv. credit.I have been a volunteer at animal control for 2 years now.Now I am the volunteer coordinator.

After you have walked dogs for about 3 months you go on to do adoptions, assist people in picking out a pet.This is a lot of fun talking to people and learning more about the animals.If you like animals you will love the shelter!!

Answer 2

The best place to do community service is where the cause and the work is of interest to you. Be prepared to talk about why it is you want to volunteer and what skills you can offer. Volunteering is not a right -- it's a privilege. Like finding a job, you might have to apply and interview at many different places before you are chosen for an opportunity.
