This site is amazing. It matches teens with local community service opportunities that best fit their interests and also lists school requirements for getting community service hours. It is a must see if your kids want to volunteer doing stuff they actually enjoy doing! They also list one-time special events. It is currently run by a freshman at Saint Andrews. Great stuff, check it out.
