What community service things can a sixteen year old do and how would one find out about them.?

Your volunteer center can help you find specific community projects and non-profit agencies in your local area to help you make an impact in your community. Many volunteer centers have youth programs or can refer you to appropriate youth volunteer projects in your area. Here are some links to help you get started: http://www.handsonkc.org/ http://www.handsonnetwork.org/our-network/ http://www.pointsoflight.org/centers/find_center.cfm http://national.unitedway.org Through my volunteer center, I tutor children at the library, enrich arts and culture by helping visitors at the local museum, work at the local food bank, children's shelter, and clean our neighborhoods, parks, and beaches. Good luck!

It's great that you're willing to volunteer! Look into clubs at school that specialize in volunteering or any events that your school is putting on. Contact local senior citizen assisted living homes or your local civic center. Theres always the yellow pages! I knew a girl who volunteered at an animal shelter and another that worked filing for a planned parenthood. There are so many options, but you have to call around. Good luck and ave fun!!

Contact the library -read to kids Church of the Nazarene Headquarters in Kansas- available local events for kids during the summer. Goodwill services- help disabled adults/kids School office sometimes have postings for summer activities for young people Chamber of Commerce might have listings for people looking for summer help Assisted living facilities are always looking for people that are available to play games with their residents (checkers, chess, other activities) My grandmother loved bingo and in her declining years loved to have help so she could still play.

You could work at a homeless shelter, animal shelters, churches (many programs), or contact the united way. They might have something for you.
