Spring is coming and it’s time to become active again. I’ve already posted a few times about ways that teens can volunteer in their community, but here’s a list of websites that can help you search out your own places to serve.
There are so many reasons to volunteer in your community!
Community Service Ideas For Teens:
A few specific to counties in Florida: Updated July 2016
- Alachua County
- Brevard and Palm Beach Counties
- Broward County
- Duval County
- Palm Beach County (Jupiter)
- Pasco County
- Polk County
- Seminole County
Several state-wide organizations:
- Florida State Park System
- Ocean Conservancy Click on the map – then fill out the pop up to be notified of scheduled clean-up dates.
- Teen Court List of Contacts in Florida
And a few nationwide search engines:
- The OppGuide to Community Service (also available as a phone app)
- Volunteer Match. Type in your city for a list of opportunities near you.
Remember, if you want to use your volunteer hours to aid in qualifying for scholarships, be sure to request a confirmation letter from the organization with which you volunteer. The letter should be on the organization’s letterhead and should give the date(s) and number of hours you have spent working with them.
~to your success and thank you for serving!
