Ideas for what volunteer options to pursue?


Question Posted Sunday September 19 2010, 10:15 pm

So i want to pursue a career in child psychology or psychiatry. Working as a therapist for unlucky children.

What are some volunteer opportunities where i can work with children? I am a High school sr age 18, i would job shadow but im not sure if thats only for those who are already in college.

I'm not quite sure just what you can do in the fields you want to train in as an untrained volunteer. I would start by speaking with your High School Guidance Councilor as they might know of things open for you. Some of the places I’m thinking of would be your local hospital to see if you could help out in the pediatric ward. Your local Police Department may have some form of after school program they run for troubled youths or a Police Athletic Association that they need help with. Your County or City Youth Service Office may have something you could help them with also.

I am sure if you make an effort you will find something that comes close to fitting what you want. It will take a lot of phone call or preferable some in person visits to the places I suggested before you find what you are looking for.
