• Volunteers come in all ages. While there are
  many opportunities for teens and adults, many are
  geared toward the elderly. Seniors have a lot of
  experience and, therefore, a lot to offer in many
  aspects of life.
• Many seniors may think that they are incapable
  of volunteering because they have limited
  mobility or no transportation. These are no
  longer valid excuses. Many companies offer
  volunteer opportunities for senior citizens can
  perform at home. The only requirements would be a
  phone or Internet connection.

Work with kids
There are many children who are missing an
influential figure in their lives. There are also
many who suffer from serious diseases and need
someone to brighten their day. Many just need
help with school work. If you enjoy volunteer
holidays with kids and want to make a difference,
you can do so in many ways. You can spend time
reading with a child or helping with homework.
You can play games with them and tell jokes or
funny stories. You can even go beyond this and
act as their mentor. The time you spend with them
will make a positive impact on their lives.
