Volunteering opportunities for under-18s - rescue kennels/catteries

Does anyone know how an under-18 person might secure volunteering opportunities in a rescue centre? I have begun looking and more and more it seems as if you need to be over 18.

This is a student who wishes to apply to study vet med in Eastern Europe. It requires experience in a vet's practice - tick - , plus experience with an animal rescue organisation.

She says she can find nothing in France, so I've begun nosing around in the UK. Is it a non-starter because of her age? She is 17 yrs old.

Our local cat rescue takes D of E students for volunteer placements…

Thank you @Woollymonster . Would you mind pm-ing me their details?

It's a long shot because then she'd also need to find accommodation nearby, but if she's sufficiently committed then she will do what it takes!
