Call them up (better than an email) and ask to speak to someone about volunteering. Tell them how old you are, where you live, and how often and what sort of hours you might be able to help out. Make sure that you have parental consent if you need it. Mostly they will be really glad of having volunteers, but make sure you go down there first (if you don't know it already) and get a sense of the sort of things you might have to do before you start and make sure you're happy. They might have suggestions of the sorts of things you can help out with or you might have some ideas of your own! Good luck!

Call the retirement home and ask for the administrator. If they're not available ask for the nursing supervisor. Let him/her know that you're interested in volunteering, the days and times you would be available to work, and what specifically interests you.

Do you want to just sit and talk? Help serve meals? Assist with activities? Call out the numbers for BINGO? Read out loud?

I have some things in mind that you could say like Tell them that you are wondering if they will need someone to volunteer at the retirement home, that it is very important to you to want to look after others,you love to volunteer to help others,you always enjoyed it,and that it will be a pleasure to help out,and that you will do a great job.One last thing tell them that they will not regret for picking you as a volunteer.
