Ideas like that girl had for the fuzzy feet foundation. ANy suggestions, please, i want to start in july.
Thanks

You can try nursing homes, animal shelters or animal rehabilitation centers, a soup kitchen, and there are other fun activities like holiday related volunteer work.

The Hugs and Hope Club is always in need. They send mail to sick kids in the hospital. They are in need of people to sit and just make a card saying "thinking of you", and could use a lot of teens. They are at http://www.hugsandhope.com/
It doesn't seem like much, but you'll make a kid's day, and some of these kids have numbered day.

to fight animal cruelty... donate to help the greyhounds is my suggestion =) (http://www.grey2kusa.org)

Like that girl said before me, you should volunteer somewhere that involves your interests. After a while if you decide you like that place, you can figure out how they work their organization and try setting up your own mini one. If you need help trying to figure out where to donate stuff, then you can ask the workers there. I hope this helps!

HmMMmmM..... Well in the future I want to work in the medical field so I volunteer in a local hospital every friday 3-5! Its really fun & a great learning experience. Im also into women issuses so I volunteer for my local women's center. It pretty fun! Do something your interested in, it can be an experience of a life time! Good Luck! ... ~Never give up, & remember it only takes one voice to make a difference.~
