I love volunteering with kids and teens. It's like hanging out and doing team building/games/crafts...only you get to feel good about doing it.
LA Works has some awesome projects. Children of the Night was my absolute favorite. Teen girls who were involved somehow in prostitution, pornography, or just too many pregnancies live in a school and make their lives better. If you go, tell them I say hi. I also love Reading to Kids. Once a month, saturday morning, you...read to kids. And do a craft. Angel's Flight is great too, especially if you know any Spanish. Younger teens in an interim shelter as immigration issues get worked out.
I miss my projects. The one I did this morning in Chicago sucked compared to those projects. Sigh.
