When I was your age I volunteered at the local hospital. It was a very good learning experience. I got office experience and was able to work in the rehab department and with the elderly, which was probably the toughest. I felt so bad for them. It really means something to you when you walk into a person's hospital room and their eyes light up just because they need some company.
I hope you find something you will enjoy. :)
In my first year of college I joined AmeriCorps and UpwardBound. Those were wonderful and AmeriCorps provided some scholarship funds for my education.

You could volunteer at the YMCA, Youth Centers, Girl Scout
Troops, and possibly hospital gift shops or hospital information desks.

There are very many conservation volunteer organisations. This would be a wonderful experience for you, and would certainly impress your college admissions board. Try a search for "conservation volunteers". Good luck.

Stop in the local United Way office and offer your service.
They will be able to direct you to a number of local charities that NEED your help.
