3 . Volunteering means spending some of your free time helping others. You may volunteer to help other people, but you can also volunteer to do something good for animals, the environment or any other things that you care about. Volunteering can help others, and it can also help yourself. If you are worried about something that’s happened, doing something about it can be a great way to deal with your feelings. Volunteering can help you see your own life in new ways. Sometimes it’s easy to worry about stuff like grades or get annoyed because you don’t have the most expensive shoes or the newest computer game. Volunteering lets you spend some time focusing on others.

Doing volunteer work is a great way to have fun with your family. Here are some ideas on how you can do the work together:

☆Clean up a park or a road along a river.
☆Do some housework for the elderly or the sick.
☆Serve food at a shelter for the homeless.
☆Plant trees or flowers in your community.
☆Clean up a school or other public buildings.

Now some schools ask kids to spend some time helping others. Volunteering can make kids feel needed by some people. Volunteering can also help kids to learn important things about themselves. A volunteer job can even help kids to understand what to do when they grow up. So what are you waiting for?

6 . Is there something in your community（社区）that could be changed? Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help? If you’re hoping for someone to make a difference, that someone could be you!

Volunteering（奉献）your time is a great way to make a difference in your community. And you’ll feel good about doing something that helps people or improves the places around you.

This past summer, my friends and I noticed how messy our neighborhood park was. We wanted it to be different. We worked with our parents and teachers to clean up the park. We had a great time making the park even better than before, and now the whole neighborhood is able to share and enjoy it again.

Maybe cleaning up a park isn’t your choice, though. No problem! You can turn anything that matters to you into a volunteer project. Do you like playing chess, reading, or 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, simply by talking or playing games with them to make their days better. If you’re great at 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. Or you can collect things for homeless people, such as soap and toothbrushes.

You see, there is something for everyone. Whatever you do as a volunteer, your time will be enjoyed — and that always feels good. Kids everywhere are making a difference by volunteering. You can, too!
