What can you do to help people or animals in need? The answer is—to be a volunteer.

Helping yourself by helping others

Volunteering not only helps others but also helps yourself. If you're sad about something that happens, like an earthquake or a flood doing something to help others can be a great way to make you feel better.

It feels good to be able to help. Because of your help, some kids have warm hats, gloves and boots. Doing voluntary work means one very important thing—you make a difference to the world.

Getting started

School is a good place to start. You can ask a teacher what you should do to be a volunteer.

Some places want volunteers who are twelve or even older. Often, kids start volunteering by working with their parents. You might be too young to get food ready at a kitchen. But when your parents give you a helping hand, you might be able to go along.

Things to do with parents or family members

Volunteering is a great way to have fun with your family. Here are some ideas for things you can do as a family:

Clean up a park, a school or other public places.

Offer food to people without homes.

Coming up with your own ways

You can try to find your own ways to raise money. For example, you can make and sell things and donate the money to charity.

Volunteering can also help kids learn something about themselves. They will learn about what kinds of things they can do and what they are interested in.

So what are you waiting for? Make a plan to start volunteering today.

Henry was going through a very hard time. His wife just passed away. He felt that life without her was pointless. For months, Henry sat his house, doing nothing. Henry’s neighbor(邻居), an old woman named Lisa, saw him from her yard one day. She had not seen him outside in days! She asked him to come closer to the fence(篱笆) next to her house.

“Hello, Henry! Just look at this fence. It is falling apart. You are a strong man. Can you help me fix this fence?” Lisa asked.
