Local camps, especially those for low-income youngsters or kids who are ill, need counselors and tutors. If you like working with your hands, help clear and build a neighborhood playground for other kids. If you want to do something in your own special way, put on your creative thinking cap. On your own, or with a few friends, you can raise money for your favorite cause through bake sales, car washes and garage sales. Or organize a drive to collect books, magazines, toys and clothes to donate to shelters or needy families.
Many young people do a lot of things on their own to help other people.
