Volun-teen Program

Kids helping kids is one of our favorite things!

The following opportunities are suggested for teenagers in need of scholastic community service or volunteer hours. Students are welcome to volunteer individually or as part of a group.

Here’s the handy dandy breakdown of each project and an approximate number of volunteer hours earned for each one. Most of these projects can be done from the comfort of your own home. The more you do, the more hours you can earn. Don’t forget to post pics of you doing awesome things on social media and tag us @ronaldmcdonaldhousemd on Instagram and Facebook!
