Is there something in your community that could be changed? Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help? If you're hoping for someone to make a1 , that someone could be you!
Volunteering your time is a 2 way to make a difference in your community. And you'll feel good about doing something that helps people or3 the places around you.
This past summer, my friends and 14 how messy our neighborhood park was. We wanted it to be different.
We worked with our parents and teachers to5 the park. We had a great time making the park even better than before.
Maybe cleaning up a park isn't your6 , though. No problem! You can turn anything that matters to you into a volunteer project. Do you like playing chess, reading,7 spending time with your pet? You can volunteer to do what you love to do. For example, you could help at an old people's center,8 by talking or playing games with them to make their days better. If you9 math or English, you could volunteer to be a homework helper at your school. You're always needed to walk dogs or play with cats.
You see, there is something for everyone. Whatever you do as a10 , your time will be enjoyed-and that always feels good. Kids everywhere are making a difference by volunteering. You can, too!
