Question

If so, Where?...website would be best, if possible.

Answer 1

it depends on your city, but probably yes, there is. you could volunteer to sort donations at homeless shelters or soup kitchens. your city probably has a list of volunteer opportunities for teens. or go to your community center and ask around. or ask at your school - they probably have a bunch of ways teenagers can help. there are many places, but they tend to work on a city level, not a state level. i can't give you a website because there's no one website that would work. just ask around at your school, at the community center, and try to find it on your city's website.

Answer 2

VolunteerMatch (http://www.volunteermatch.org), Idealist (http://www.idealist.org) and CraigsList (http://www.craigslist.com) all list volunteering opportunities with thousands of organizations. These are great places to look for volunteering opportunities. Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site.

If all of these resources fail to give you a list of organizations serving the homeless in your area, then contact your local United Way and look in the phone book yellow pages.
