It can teach how to handle solutions that you might need to handle when you get older. Babysitting is a good way to earn service hours, because you can learn a lot of valuable lessons that you will need throughout your life.

Pick Up Trash

Keeping the Earth clean! This project can be with people or no people. You can host your own trash walk, or join another person’s trash walk group! Or if you don’t feel like hanging out with other people, there is another way. You can walk by yourself and pick up trash where you like to be the most. This can be your neighborhood, a park, a trail, or even just the sidewalk. This is a great way to earn service hours because you are supporting your community but you are also keeping the environment and the Earth clean!

Volunteer at Summer Camp

This is another way to earn service hours. Volunteering at a summer camp is a great way to volunteer while enjoying your summer outdoors. At summer camps there are kids younger than you. Then there might be people in their teens, just like you! Summer camp is also a great opportunity to have fun, but also be a responsible teenager looking out for those younger than you by taking charge of the younger kids in your camp “group”. Summer Camp is a great way to experience outdoors during summer while earning service hours.

You have to talk to a few people if you volunteer as the gift shop person or popcorn booth, or anywhere else where people are selling items. Or you can just talk to the animals if you want. There are so many adventurers that await at the zoo!
