Teen Looking for Volunteer Opportunities
Greetings,
My 14 year old daughter is looking to volunteer with youth or the elderly. She wants to do it on her own and we are having a hard time finding places that offer this for her age. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Oakland Elizabeth House a Transitional Residence for women and their children located on Colby Street at Alcatraz. They offer a homework/reading Club for the residents' children every Thursday and always need more volunteers. You can get more info at oakehouse.org
Your daughter could help with a kid who's behind in reading. I think there's a program called Reading Partners that has an ongoing school year program and also a summer program. I know a kid who did the summer progam and liked developing relationships with kids and seeing their progress.
