Need service hours? The programs below publish minimum ages of 16 or younger, meaning teens can join directly rather than tagging along with adults. Zoo and aquarium teen programs, museum ambassador roles and shelter assistant shifts are the marquee options — and the competitive ones, with spring application windows.
For hour-tracking, confirm your program qualifies with your school FIRST, and keep every confirmation email.
