Volunteering for a 16 year old

Hello,
I’m trying to find volunteering opportunities for my daughter this summer once she completes her GCSEs. I’ve been looking online but not finding a lot - can anyone suggest anything?
Are 16 year olds able to do anything like tutoring?
thank you?

Thanks all. I agree that she needs to start taking the initiative herself! I’m going to get her to contact a local museum where I’ve heard there might be opportunities.

Yes she definitely does. She’s 16 and perfectly capable if sorting this stuff out for herself Smile

Food bank. There is a lovely atmosphere in the centres. People of all different ages, classes, occupations and cultures. Our volunteers range from 14 (youth and church groups) to 90. It is very social.

The work consists of unpacking the groceries and sorting into date order and spitting large bags of rice, tea bag, pasta and soap powder. Also handing out the bags and boxes to clients.

Every body chats and is really helpful. Try Trussell Trust.

Alternatively look.on the local council website. If she is interested in tutoring, then maybe a reading helper in the library. The story lady at children’s centres. The refugee council also need lots of help. Playing with refugee children to help them improve their English.
