Hi
Does anyone know how I can find out about volunteering opportunities/work experience opportunities for under 16s (15 year olds) in either animal rescue, animal management, botany, wildlife, conservation, art, performance, music or fashion (anything, really!!)?
I'd love to meet new people (preferably around my age), get experience, and do interesting/helpful things, but I really can't find anything for under 16s
I'm in the North East of England.
Thanks

Have a look on Do-It volunteer. You can select what type of stuff you want to do, e.g. whether it is with animals, people, etc. Lots of the stuff says the minimum age it accepts.

Hope it helps,

Hiya, I'm 15 and I volunteer @ my local Cat & Rabbit rescue centre which is really fun and rewarding. I would try local rescue centres, animal hospitals(there's one where I live that takes 14 years olds), guilduiding (brownies/rainbows), Cubs, Beavers (and you can get a young leader qualification, charity shops, craft projects for disabled children, local drama groups/dance schools There must be loads more .....

Thanks everyone, I'll have a look into guides or scouts, I think the best thing to do might be to contact some animal rescue centres directly, I know of a few rescues near where I live. Thanks for the help.
I'll keep checking the Do-it site to see if anything new turns up
Oh, and happy halloween;D

Hi, I’m looking for the same thing, I’m 15 and live in west hull. If someone could also let me know it would be amazing, I would love volunteering at a animal shelter and caring or even cleaning all the pets
