Need Inspiration?

  • Contact an animal shelter in your area. Ask if they need volunteers. How can you help?
  • Organize a pet-food or pet-toy drive in your town. Where will you donate the items you collect?
  • Plant a bee-friendly garden. Is there space for one where you live or at your school?
  • Ask an elderly neighbor if you can help care for their pet. What help does your neighbor need most?
  • Collect spare change to donate to a charity that supports wildlife. What cause matters to you?
  • Learn about endangered species, and make posters to raise awareness. Where will you hang the posters?
  • Need help getting started? Talk to an adult or a friend to find an idea that feels right for you.
