Do you want to be a volunteer(志愿者)?Maybe you need some ideas to get you started. Here are just a few. You can pick(挑选)what you really love to do.
Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or big sister at an after-school care center. You can help little kids to learn or play with them.
Give back during the holidays. Serve dinner to the homeless or volunteer at your local old people's home. Your local church and temple may also need your help.
Help at a local animal shelter(动物收容所). Most shelters depend on volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and well exercised. And when you're walking dogs, you get some exercise, too.
Protect the environment. Take part in a local park clean-up day. Plant a tree in the spring. Join a group to work together to protect your local river.
Help sick people. Lots of us are close to people who have a medical problem. It can make you feel good to donate your time or money to the people with an illness. When you cheer them up, you also feel happy.
