Question

Ok, I want to know how old do you have to be?
What do you have to do?
How long do you do it for?
Were would I start?
What would be a good one to do?

Answer 1

age depends on the job
responsibilities also depends on the organization
however long you want
start with a local sr. center or retirement home... the elderly love to see new faces and meet young people, for a retirement home/sr center you probably would need to be 14/15, and all you would really have to do is be friendly and willing to have your ear talked off :)

Answer 2

With adult supervision I didn't know there was an age limit, I have been to the Gulf Coast twice this year and we have had all ages go. New Orleans or Lakeshore Miss. are two great places to go and work. Its overwhelming we you see the diseaster first hand and very little progress has been made in the poor sections. They need help desperately. If you can, here are a couple of organizations you can contact, rebuildlakeshore.com, the Noah project and Habit for Humanity is there. They are all on the web. It would be a very rewarding experience for you if you can go, it certainly was for me.
