If you have some extra time, work through your local volunteer center to find some additional volunteer opportunities. Volunteer centers provide you with some great additional projects that meet real community needs and also match up with your interests. You can find one-time, short-term, and long-term projects through your volunteer center.
Here are some links to help you find your local volunteer center:

It all starts in your own community. I like to think that when you make a difference in your own community, no matter how small, you can provide the impetus for others to do the same. I've started several volunteer projects through my volunteer center, and have done a lot of work recruiting new volunteers to help out. As long as you are passionate about something, the impact will be felt way beyond your own community.
Good luck!

first you can tutor kids, that means kids that have disabilities, or just kids that need help in school. If your still in hs, you can join a club called i think Key Club, also you can help clean the streets. Food drive for the homeless, or a clothes drive too.

I think the saying "Think globally; act locally" applies here.
You can donate food to a local food pantry, donate blood when there are blood drives, volunteer at a soup kitchen/homeless shelter. There are many ways.

Advocate birth control to people who can't afford to properly raise children. That is the best way to reduce crime, make the education system better and stop the downward slide of the country. Thanks, Mika
