| HEY KIDS! Check out these volunteer projects anyone can do: 1. Help your parents or other family members with a chore or two (remember, charity begins at home!) 2. Read to kids at the library 3. Hold a food, clothing, book, or toy drive 4. Clean up a park 5. Hold a bake sale for a local charity 6. Visit Senior Citizens in a nursing home 7. Help out at a local animal shelter or zoo 8. Write letters to the troops |
| IMPORTANT TIP: Always ask your parents for permission to surf the internet and make sure they approve your volunteering project. Many times your volunteering will require adult supervision. Invite friends to join you and see if your parents can alternate supervising. Or, see if local high school students will volunteer to help you volunteer. Where there's a will, there's a way! |
