Volunteer work
16/f
I'm looking for places where i could volunteer on a regular basis. I live in Pennsylvania, and the options I have are the YMCA, the SPCA, a local hospital, nursing home, soup kitchen, etc. How would I get involved in any of these activities? Also, something I am also interested is not only reading to older people but little kids as well. Just helping out little kids in general, but I'm not exactly sure where I could do this around where I live. Basically I'm just looking for a rewarding volunteering experience and would like to know what I would be doing in these different options. Also any recommendations to where I could volunteer from anyone who has experience, that would be great! :)
Thanks!

I know this isn't what you said you really wanted to do, but I have a few ideas for you that I have done. The first thing is writing cards to children who are in the hospital for a terminal illness. This is great because you can do it right from your home and it is relatively easy.

Another thing I do is the Red Scarf project, which sends hand-knit scarves to homeless people. All you have to know is how to knit.
I also do Operation Christmas Child. You buy little toys for children and put them in a shoe box, which is sent to poor children who wouldn't receive anything otherwise.
Anyway, it's awesome of you to want to volunteer. Hopefully you will find something that works for you. Good luck!

hospitals are a great place to volunteer im actually volunteering at one right now but i live somewhere else but anyways basically what i do it read to the people who would like me to read to them and i bring there food and medication and i take them for walks and i talk to them and i play in the playhouse with the little kids its really fun and soup kitchens are good too in order to volunteer anywhere you have to be atleast 16 years old and you just have to go to the place you would like to volunteer and talk to the person at the front desk so at the hospital there should be a desk as soon as you enter and you just talk to them and at a soup kitchen you just tlak to anyone and they will help you get started.
