Start by researching and identifying reputable organizations that work with children and young people. Look for organizations that have a clear mission, values, and established programs for volunteers. Many organizations that work with children and youth require volunteers to undergo background checks, screenings, and training to ensure the safety and well-being of the participants. Be prepared to comply with these requirements. Depending on the volunteer role, you may have opportunities to support children and young people in skill-building activities, educational programs, tutoring, mentoring, or recreational activities. Tailor your approach to their needs and interests.
