Can you give some volunteer work suggestions?

1 Corinthi

It's for the club I'm in. I want as many ideas as to what kind of volunteer work is available, suggestions like Big Brother and Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, etc. I've only come up with a few, but I know there are many other volunteer resources available. Please give a list and if possible links.

Answer
Would depend on where you live but here are a few ideas:
-SPCA
-BOYS and GIRLS CLUB
-Local animal shelter
-Many schools have programs where they match people with kids as "reading buddies"
-Meals on Wheels
-Volunteer to help clean up a local beach or park
-Volunteer as a leader for Scouts or Girl Guides
-Candy Striper at a local hospital
-Visit the elderly at a seniors centre/home
-Volunteer to be a buddy to a person with a disability-go swimming, hang at the mall ect ect

Hope that helps!

What are some volunteer opportunities for a 9th grader?
