Our teen recently volunteered at the San Diego Food Bank. He was part of a group of 40 adults and kids, whom sorted, packed and loading unperishable foods, onto pallets. Food that had an expiration date and wasn't acceptable, was tossed into a large bin. Acceptable food was packed and than loaded onto pallets. The pallets were than loaded onto trucks that would distribute the food through San Diego county.
Teen Korps gives kids the opportunity to work in teams, leadership opportunities and of course, serving our community. Your teen will be able to pick amongst a several different projects, that are listed monthly. Ages and other requirements are always listed.
Our son commented that it was very hard and physical work. He gained a sense of accomplishment for a job well done.
