Volunteering should feel good. Here's how we keep it that way — and how to tell us when it isn't.

Ground rules for volunteers

  • Tell a parent or guardian where you're going and when you'll be back.
  • Meet at the public address on the listing — never at someone's home.
  • Keep your last name, address, school, and phone number to yourself.
  • Adults should never ask you to message them privately or handle money.
  • If something feels off, leave and tell a trusted adult. You can always cancel.

If you're ever in immediate danger, call your local emergency number first, then tell us.
