Places I can help out with Youth Basketball//Starting someth
Hello! I was recently told by one of my teachers that we have to do community service. Since I love basketball, I decided to either create a youth basketball organization where I can teach young kids, about 5-7, basketball basics and skills (I'm almost 14 by the way.), or join a place like YMCA where I can help out the youth basketball teams? And if it helps...I live in Michigan.
-- First of all, which one do you think is a better idea?
-- If it's the first one, how would I be able to start this, and am i old enough?
-- If it's the second one, what other place would i be able to go to help youths in basketball (besides YMCA)...I already googled and I still can't find anything..

I think the second one is better because to start an organization u would have to authorized and go through your town and ask for permission, and that will be a hassle... so go with the second but im rele not sure.... ur best bet is to go help a a senior citizens home or clean a park or find a youth center to help at.
hope i could help

Well, I don't really know the US rules, but I would have thought that you can't be a mionor [under 18/21] and start a club like that formally, so I would go with the second option.
Most libaries [or other community centers] have a list of places that doing things like what you want, so you could check there, or talk to the YMCA people and see if they have any ideas.
Good luck :)

Ok I know it seems wonderful to do and God bless you for such a bright and wonderful idea!!!
okay...
firstly your 13...that MIGHT get in the way it all depends on your size and maturity level.
2. the youth basketball organization is your best hope YMCA might but probably wont need your help only...because of your age.
3.just to let you know 5-7 is an ok age but I teach gymnastics for kids anywhere from 2 and up and 6-8 or a little older might be better believe me a large group of children is hard to keep up with!!
hope all goes well!

I think the second one would be a better option, just because a group of 5-7 year olds might be really hard to control, and some parents might be leery of leaving their kids with you.
Try asking around the elementary schools if they have a basketball team for their kids, and if they need a volunteer. Our elementary school teams always had a high school student help out. Some Churches also run basketball leagues, so if you're into that you can try there.

I like the second idea better than the first one. You can go to the Boys and Girl's Club of America. You can help out youth basketball teams there because my brother has done it before. It's great that you wanna help out kids lol. Hope I helped :)
