Alright, here's the deal, I'm thirteen and I really want to do some voulenteer work.?
Okay, everywhere I look people don't want me unless im 16 or older. I can't stand that. I really want to work at the animal shelter in madison heights but I e-mailed them about it and never got an answer. Any ideas as to what i could do for voulenteer work?

Answer 3 :
The problem, as you know, is that you're too young and are a liability issue. Both as far as accidents and child labor laws go. The very best thing you could do, as far as volunteering goes, is to collect money for your favorite charity. Good luck!
Answer 4 :
It's great you want to volunteer - I think that's awesome. Try calling them on the phone instead or stopping by. I guarantee that personal contact will work better than e-mail, regardless of your age.
Answer 5 :
I'm right there with ya I'm 15 years old and I cant work at out animal shelter the Hutchinson Animal Shelter because I'm not 16 because it is ran by the city. Try to find some individually owned organizations instead of a city or network company. We have the HKC or hutchinson kennel club that is all voulenteer work. Just keep looking the internet might help like google animal rescues then your area. You could simply take things like shoe boxes, cat litter, toys, ect. to your animal shelter too.
Answer 6 :
are you in 8th grade? i'd recommend young heroes. its a program that doesnt only do one thing, its a multi thing, its like every other saturday's and you get to meet new people and you do lots of fun stuff. if u decided u want to do some in HS also, i REALLY recomment city heroes. its like the same thing but its more hands on. i live in seattle, WA and im doing it again for the second year. if u have that program in your town i recommend that alot. also when ur 15 u can start doing team read. thats a program to help 2nd-3rd grade students improve their reading skillls to at or above reading level. also when you go to high school you can volenteer at your local library. i know this is all high school stuuf, and im sorry, but even though u are a very cool person to want to help out in the community, there arnt many opportunities out there. if you find you cannot find anything, its ok. once you go into high school in a year [unless u skipped a grade or was held back] there are many things you can go silly with that has to do with volenteering. but its still not easy to get a job until your 18. 16 is easier but still dificult, which is why team read is a great program, you can get paid to do it! i hoped i helped. good luck!
Answer 7 :
