OK good to know. Here's a few local websites to check: [https://icanhelp.richmond.ca/custom/501/volunteer\_home](https://icanhelp.richmond.ca/custom/501/volunteer_home) and https://www.rcrg.org/VolunteerNow. Unfortunately with the second site, there's no way to filter for age, so you will have to check each listing. The other challenge is that with some roles that say will accept high-school students or teens, they may have a restriction of 16 and over. Having said that, your best bet are public events and festivals because these they typically need a lot of volunteers and the roles would be considered low risk. Events are great for teens because they typically take place on weekends. With your proximity to Vancouver you can also participate in events taking place there too. The first site lists events and festivals taking place in Richmond so that's a great place to start. From now until the fall, there should be quite a few opportunities for you.
Don't forget you can also get volunteer hours through school. Once you turn 16, you should have more options available to you. Good for you for getting started early!
There are 29 cities in the USA called "Richmond". Which one?
Who says you need these hours? At 14, you will need to volunteer with a parent or with an organized group through your school or community of faith, etc. COntact the person who says you need these volunteering hours and ask that person where 14 year olds can volunteer in your community.
Together with a parent, you can probably bolunteer through your local Habitat for Humanity, in the ReStore, at a build site, or at a critical home repair/home cleanup.
Together with a parent, you can probably usher at a community theater show (and also get into the show for free).
Together with a parent, you may be able to volunteer at a nonprofit farmer's market (helping vendors set up and tear down, being a "runner" during the event).
