Doctors Without Borders Volunteer
Patrick Said:
volunteer internationally or locally?We Answered:
Try this group...http://www.handsonnetwork.org/
They are wonderful and can match you to a group that needs help. Just an FYI, most volunteer groups that work with kids (Make A Wish Foundation is one) DO require that anyone in direct contact with kids meet an age requirement & that they pass a background check. Not that the background check is an issue but you may be asked to pay for one (I was).
You may also want to contact a local elementary school and volunteer to read to the younger kids or help with homework. The teachers really love the volunteers b/c it allows them a chance to get other things done.
When I was 16, I volunteered in a nursing home. I read to the residents, helped feed them and many times, just sat & talked to them.
Thumbs up & kudos to everyone who has answered!!!

Does anyone know any good volunteer organizations?We Answered:
Call the United Way in your county. They usually have a long list of organizations that need volunteers.If you are in high school, look into the Student Conservation Association. They put you in a national park for 3 - 6 weeks; you do manual labor with a team; improving trails, clearing foreign plants, surveying animal populations, planting new trees. You pay for your air fare and food. The NPS loans you a tent.
