There are many reasons to volunteer, for humanitarian cord, senior requirements, college applications, and for fun. But, sometimes it is hard to find a place to volunteer at. Here is a list of a few places to volunteer your time at.

Aheinz 57.  Aheinz57 is a local dog rescue in DeSoto. You can volunteer here to help walk dogs, bath dogs, clean or even become a foster home. People under the age of 16 have to have a parent with them when they volunteer.

Adel Public Library. The Adel Public Library is always looking for volunteers to help shelve books, run youth programs or sit at the front desk. Located in the heart of Adel it is close to the school and could be a great after-school opportunity for those who can’t yet drive.

Mosaic Haven.  Mosaic haven is looking for volunteers during the summer to be a camp counselor for teens with special needs. This opportunity requires you to be good at communication and to be patient. For more information talk to Mrs. Smith.

Youth Programs. The youth sports programs are often looking for volunteers to be refs, run the clock or work at the concessions stand. If you know about sports rules and scorekeeping this could be a great opportunity for you.

These are just a few ideas, for more opportunities sign up for the volunteer club remind. Also, read the announcements for opportunities.
