Im 14 and would LOVE to start doing volunteer work but am I too young?
I’m interested in volunteering at animal shelters and senior homes.
I’ve tried http://www.volunteermatch.org/
and http://humaneteen.org/
But you have to be at LEAST 16 or so.
I live in Redwood city, CA and would volunteer somwhere no farther than Palo Alto.
Please and Thank you.

Try Sacred Heart Community Services (san jose)
San Jose Childrens Discovery Museum
Go to any Senior Center and ask if they need help
You can volunteer at most YMCAs when you’re 14
The Humane society
Try different places, like pet stores and shelters. You probably won’t find anything online, so you’re going to have to go out and ask people, and tell them you’re interested in volunteering for their establishment. For example, if you went to an animal shelter, and told them you were interested in being a volunteer, they would most likely let you walk or feed animals. Some places won’t let you volunteer, due to safety precautions (for example, you probably could not volunteer to clean an old person’s home, but you could probably volunteer to visit the residents).
I think it’s great that you want to do this, and most people will also probably think the same. You shouldn’t have a problem, if you find the right places.
