  • Answer:

    You have already listed really good places to volunteer, & there is also the Salvation Army, who could use your help as well to serve food to the hungry. How wonderful of you to be so kind & giving of your time. ( Even if it is just to get out of the house. I would try giving 4 days each to all 3 , So if you should decide you want to do this again, you will have experienced them all, & know which one suites you best*

When I was your age I use to volunteer at a hospital. I brought the flowers up to the patients rooms. I got to know a lot of the patients if they were in there for awhile. I'd have to say it was pretty fun working there. Look up your local hospital on the internet... most of them have a link for volunteering.

You could be a bell ringer for the red cross or catholic charities, maybe volunteering at a shelter to help feed the homeless, and they could always use help at animal shelters, and the boys and girls club.

it depends on ur personality....i volunteered at a library and i hated it...my sister did at a hospital, liked it and now she's an md.....the hospital is good, maybe the YMCA too if you want to teach kids team work...
