Children Under 16

Start Young & Make a Difference Through Volunteering!

Volunteering as a child under 16 is a wonderful way to start making a difference early on. Whether helping out at local events, participating in community cleanups, or lending a hand to those in need, young volunteers can have a big impact. It’s a chance to learn valuable life skills, develop a sense of responsibility, and understand the importance of giving back. Plus, volunteering alongside friends and family makes it fun! By starting young, kids can grow into compassionate, engaged community members who know they have the power to make the world a better place.
