Here is a list of service projects for kids and opportunities for kids to volunteer. Service projects to serve the elderly, service projects working with younger children, service projects that help the environment… locally and globally, kids can make a difference! These service projects are great for individuals who want to help out, but also work really well for groups such as Scouts, schools, church youth groups, clubs, and more!

1. Organize a food drive in your neighborhood, church, or school.

2. Have a garage sale or lemonade stand for your favorite cause.

3. Plan an afternoon of fun: crafts, a movie and popcorn afternoon, or a kickball tournament at a children’s home or refugee center. Plan a day of fun!

4. Bring gently used board games and decks of cards to a local homeless shelter

5. Put on gloves and pick up litter at your local park.
