Question Posted Tuesday September 14 2004, 7:05 pm
Okay, well for my Life Management class, I have to work 10 hours of Community Service for free. I'm not sure what to do, I'm really interested in basketball. She told us that cleaning for a basketball team would be considered community service. I was going to ask the local WNBA/NBA arena if I could maybe clean the locker rooms or clean SOMETHING for them maybe 2 hours a day, but I don't know how to do that [ask them]. And they would probably reject that idea. Can you help me think of Community Service Jobs i could do that would interest me? I enjoy basketball, volleyball, and shopping. I also like music.

(Actually, at my school, I had to accumulate a minimum of 100 volunteer hours over four years) Old people are usually nice and almost always lonely, and it'll be a lot more meaningful than cleaning locker rooms. You might be the only person who visits these people, and they appreciate that more than you know. [ Riggzy's advice column | Ask Riggzy A Question ]

You could contact your local YMCA, the Boys/Girls Club of America or a local community center that has afterschool and weekend programs for school aged kids.
I hope you find something that works for you. Best of luck.

I know this doesn't really involve anything ur interested in, lol but maybe you could read to kids a a library..hope i helped :) [ XxRockon's advice column | Ask XxRockon A Question ]

Maybe you could go to your local YMCA and ask about volleyball or basketball courses for little kids, tell them about your project and ask if you can be a volunteer teacher or helper. Or you could get together with some other people from your class and hold a basketball clinic at your school or church if you go, and invite little kids and teach them how to play and just let them have fun. Or you could be a referree(sp?) at your local YMCA or at your school basketball games. Or even a score keeper.
