Some areas have horse riding as therapy classes for disabled children and adults. I’ve been volunteering for one in my area (CHAPS) for a long time and it’s really rewarding! See if your town has a volunteer bureau and if so, visit them for more information and ideas. :D

I think you have to be 18 or maybe even 21 to do big brothers, big sisters. That might be wrong, but I remember wanting to do it, but not being able to because of something like that.

I know I volunteered through my church. That doesn’t work for everyone, but if you go to church that is an idea.

I used to volunteer at a Guinea Pig Rescue Center (I know, right? :P), and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. A lot of the guinea pigs came from very abusive homes (the cops only cared about pet dogs and cats! T.T), and there’s not much of a better feeling than seeing a guinea pig who has severe anxiety and psychological problems as a result of abuse get into a safe home, have babies of their own, and watch them nurture and raise tiny little sons and daughters. :)

Depends on what you like to do…

summer school programs usually need someone to work one-on-one with kids on reading and math. ESL programs for adults are always looking for people to practice speaking English with their students. I used to volunteer at the SPCA, animal shelters, playing with the puppys. It helps them socialize so they are easier to get adopted.

well theres animal volounter jobs, and kids volountering, i suggest just browsing the internet
