What are some good volunteer opportunities for teenagers?

in the New York area (long island)?What are some good volunteer opportunities for teenagers?
Why don't you go on a fun, inexpensive shopping trip and pick up nice shower gels, soaps, lotions, cute clothes, cosmetics...basically anything that any female would like. Box it all up and mail it to your local women's shelter.





You could also buy a package of unisex bar soap like Ivory and distribute it to homeless people in your town. Make sandwiches, bring along some bottled water, and feed the homeless!





Oh, and donate your used toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shower gel, and soap)! I was thinking that you might want to check out Clean The World ( http://www.cleantheworld.org ) and perhaps send the remnants of your used toiletries to them via Central Care Mission. I'm a big fan of fun bath products, but any that don't suit my fancy, or the last bits of the soap bars, get sent to them to help prevent disease and death in Third World countries.
