Wether or not a vet will take you as a volunteer depends on the individual vet/clinic. I don't think many of them will take you though.. Some vets don't take volunteers at all. You're a liability. You could sue if someones dog bit you.
If you really want to help out animals go volunteer at your local shelter. They need people much much more than the local vets do. You can do a lot of good for the animals by volunteering at the shelter.
Edit: Not all shelters require you to be 16. The ones where I grew up required you to be 12. It all depends on the area you live in and the individual shelter.

All you can do is see some vets and see if they will let you come in and OBSERVE. There is not a lot of volunteer jobs at a vet hospital. You can also try a shelter. Some take kids your age.
