How old do you have to be to do community service?

How could I find community service in Dubai?

• To all, I'm an 8th grader that moved to Dubai. I'm interested in doing community service, but after searching the internet for a while, i've come up with no good results. I was hoping I'd be able to get names of sites that allow me to sign up for community service. By community service, I'm talking about something a middle school student or high school student could do. For example, in America, there's a site that allows students to sign up for community service, like erasing graffiti on walls or working part time at an animal shelter or helping out at a preschool. I'd appreciate it if I could get the name of some sites that will allow me to do the same thing in Dubai. Thank you.

  I went to google and typed in volunteer center Dubai and found all sorts of nonprofits that probably would welcome you as a volunteer, including Dubai Autism Center, Dubai Center for Special Needs, and Dubai Animal Rescue Centre (DARC). And right there on the second page of listings was Dubai Cares http://www.dubaicares.ae/volunteer
