You should not volunteer, you should always be compensated for your efforts in life in the form of goods, services, or cash. Begging for and then giving away money to a charity is also terribly demeaning to human beings who's only value to each other is the product of the efforts of their minds. Begging is a crime, using guilt as a threat, while charity is the opposite of justice.
If you want to "help" animals, then I suggest you buy an animal from the local pound or ASPCA, take proper loving care of it, including training, exercise, diet, for as long as it lives. But you won't be "helping" it, you'll be helping yourself, which is moral and right, by following your interest in caring for animals, and both of you will benefit. It's not a sacrifice.
From there you could read everything you can about the animal you have, other animals, veterinary medicine, training animals, etc, encourage your friends to buy animals, meet, walk and talk animals together, and maybe it will be your career someday, vet, horse trainer, biologist, zookeeper, or whatever, for which you'll get paid, to do what you love, which is how the economy works for the benefit of all.

Volunteer at your local human society. Clean out cages, change food and water dishes. Give the animals lots of love, and do anything else that could be done to help. Giving money is great but I bet it will be much more fun and rewarding to actually work with the animals. =) By the way good for you for wanting to help animals!

How nice of you wanting to help out animals. Volunteer at your local animal shelter or ask your freinds and neighbors if you can walk their dogs or clean their aquariums and cat boxes. That way you can play with them too. Will give you experience you can use later when you want a job.

That is sooooo good of you to be thinking of helping out animals. I think the best way to start is to volunteer at your local animal shelter and learn more from there. It could be a start to a really fulfilling carreer when you're all grown up.

Maybe find a local rescue or pound and voluteer to help, you have to call around and see who would take you in and have the parents involved as I am sure some consent forms are needed to be signed. Alot of people who do rescue would Love to have someone like you and help aide in the future of people helping animals out. Have fun!

what kind of animals do you want to help? You should probably start learning all there is to know about the animals that you want to help. if Posible get it/them as a pet(s) You can start a "help the animals club" at your school and take donations. You may also find some volunter oportunities available.

have a bake sale or something to raise money and then donate the money raised to a local animal shelter.
go to the animal shelter or vet and ask if you could come in maybe once a week and help the animals someway or play with them.

why not join the animal program at the aspca. They are always looking for volunteers at all ages. If you want to donate money that is good too.
