Answer 4

It is a construction site, and for insurance reasons, I do not think so. I have worked with them, and seen no youngsters. I wish that I could say differently, as you obviously are a well meaning person.

Answer 5

I believe that with parental permission they can use you at certain things at 16---but check with your local chapter to see--someone there will know all the rules---and I can tell you--they can always use the help---they do marvelous work

Answer 6

Probably - and if not raise money on your own to donate. Babysit or have a yard sale and give all the money to them.

Answer 7

you can be of any age but you have to be connected to someone because this is a glory seeking job and many people seek it so it's hard to attain.
