Frei Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I help young people to get in touch with politicians when they have complaints about society. I am also involved in starting up a new thing; an online service for youth, where they can see what's going on(parties, concerts, other fun stuff) in our city at the momet. A lot of meetings = a lot of service Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandiloquence Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 For service it's quite easy to find hospitals, libraries, animal shelters, or homeless shelters to volunteer in. Also, it's easy and quite fun to teach younger children for service hours. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agneisse Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I do a lot of tutoring in school...It's not an all-IB school, so there are lots of kids who struggle with passing the state-mandated exams. Our lunch period is a full hour, so I can get five hours a week from tutoring during lunch. It gets frustrating sometimes, but it's easy and the hours come in rolling.

lorenzo Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) I'm volunteering at a recycling center near my place. Our CAS coordinator told us 'Just google "volunteers brisbane" and a whole range of organisations should pop up.' Obviously you'd put down your hometown, instead of brisbane. I didn't actually go and do it, coz i'd already found this place, but I suppose it'd work. Edited April 1, 2008 by lorenzo Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tournedos Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'm helping out at Greenpeace, which promotes 'save our environment', as well as giving tuition to underpriviledged children for free and I've got a community work project later on this year in Thailand where I'll be building houses..

cullenh Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Can someone please give me some ideas for service hours..like what do other people do for their hours? I'm giving free swimming lessons to some kids who can't afford them, volunteering at a children's hospital, editor of yearbook (volunteer based), and helping out with a not for profit play in my community. Volunteering at food banks and soup kitchens is a good idea and might be fun! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenSara Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Most of my projects have involved all three CAS aspects, so I've earned service hours quite easily. However, I have also been a Red Cross volunteer during the Human Rights Days and collected money for poor children. Such activities are of great value later in life too, it 'looks good' on one's résumé. Edited June 2, 2008 by QueenSara Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silviana Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I help young people to get in touch with politicians when they have complaints about society. I am also involved in starting up a new thing; an online service for youth, where they can see what's going on(parties, concerts, other fun stuff) in our city at the momet. A lot of meetings = a lot of service o____O wow... that politician thing sounds pretty awesome.What am I doing? Well...1. I'm helping out at an after school program for my local primary school (you know, where kids stay after school because their parents need to work)2. I'm in Make Poverty History and the Aboriginal Reconciliation Committee3. I tutor gifted primary school kids for freeand 4. I'm planning on setting up a 'crane drive' or something, where I'll organise for everyone to fold paper cranes, then hang them up in chains of 1000, and donate them to hospitals ^^ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I am the head of a local charity I founded. But some other ideas are:- volunteering at elections- reading to kids in the library- hospital- animal hospital- old people's homes- your school!
