Hi, I'm a freshman in highschool now (15/f). I'm in honors classes and do a sport each season. But I want to become more involved in the school the community. Any ideas on what I can do or where I should go to start?

There is usually something for everyone, from chess club to service organizations. As far as your community, I think it would be great to explore some opportunities for you to "give back" and volunteer! Some city governments have "volunteer services" offices, where a list is kept of volunteer opportunities in the city. If your city doesn't do that, I would start at the public library. Tell the librarian that you are looking for volunteer opportunities in your community. You might even volunteer at the library itself, if that is what you like. Or the hospital. Or a nursing home. Or your city recreation center (maybe working with children). I hope this helps and good luck! [ ellen537's advice column | Ask ellen537 A Question ]
