In fact, Im going to do just that today at 2! lol It is pure volunteer, but its a great cause. Usually its done in 2 hour time blocks. Just check with where ever there are ringers in your area. Outside stores and supermarkets is where they are around here. Tell them your intrested and sign up for a time. You can get friends or your parents to do it with you also!

--The Humane Society or the SPCA - animals need so much love and attention
--a nursing home - many of the elderly don't receive any visitors and young people are often welcome; talk to a supervisor and ask about different things you might bring to help entertain some of the folks
--a hospital - a children's ward might be great for you and the sick kids; you could take music, games, books, etc.; also, you could just ask what you'd be able to do around the hospital if you're not interested in working with other kids
--a center for abused women - often the women who stay in these shelters have their children with them; if you're allowed, perhaps you could be a true friend to some of these kids; just ask what you could do to help them through this time of turmoil
Other options are offering yourself up to your neighbors to do yard work, baby sitting, pet care, car washing, or just anything they might need done. You could make money doing this type of work, but you also may want to do it solely out of the goodness of your heart. Either way is just fine.
By the way, asking your school guidance counselor what other kids your age do to keep themselves occupied in good and healthy ways, might be really helpful.
