For youth aged 12 through 17

Looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity?

Do you love working with little ones? How about making a real impact in your community? Need “volunteer hours” for school? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then we have an awesome opportunity for you!

Inspire’s Teen Volunteer Program gives youth aged 12–17 the chance to gain practical life skills, hands-on work experience, and teamwork practice while making a real difference in the community. Teen Volunteers help out with the Options parenting program and make a real impact in the community through hands-on projects, fun activities, and meaningful ways to help others!

Flexible hours make it easy to volunteer around your schedule, and certificates of volunteerism are available for school or work programs. We want you to feel empowered, confident, and proud of the impact you’re making.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands — one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
