Many high school and university students in the United States often spend long hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or homes for the old. They read books to the people there. Sometimes the students just visit them, play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers work in the homes of sick or old people. They clean up their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is a voluntary organization called Big Brothers. University students take these boys to sports games and help them to get to know the things that the boys usually learn from their fathers.
Some high school students take part in helping disadvantaged or handicapped children. They give care and comfort to them and help them to overcome their difficulties. Young university students participate in giving hands to the people who have suffered badly in wars or natural disasters. During summer vacations, they volunteer to work in remote or mountainous areas to provide education for children.
Each city in America has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games. Most of these clubs take high school and university students as volunteers because they are young enough to see the problems of younger boys and girls.
