I'm 16yrs old and have a lot of time to explor what I want to be. My hearts desire is to become a social worker. So I was wondering if there is a volunteer job I can do where it opens my eyes to what social work is like. I would really appreciate and help. Thanks.

Every hospital has a social worker and this may be a good start for volunteer work. Also, there's a book "So You Want To Be A Social Worker" by Helen Perlman that may help you.
Good Luck, good choice, stay with it, the rewards will be many.

Children's shelter. There is also a really good program called CASA in some areas. You can go to their main website and see if they have an office in your area:
http://www.nationalcasa.org/
I've heard good things about them. Not sure what their age requirement is, but definitely worth it to check into. Maybe they'd let you start out part time doing some typing.
