*sigh* Sometimes there are those limitations. I betcha if a parent came
with, that would solve that problem.

Anyway, that is what my son would call ageist. Is that a real word? lol Alex
uses it all the time.

There are some volunteer organizations set up for kids. I don't know what
they do or how they do it, but it enables kids to donate their time.

Like this one.....

Here's from the San Francisco Zoo's web page......
http://www.sfzoo.org/education/volunteer.htm

<<If you have a sincere interest in animals and conservation, enjoy working
with people, and are enthusiastic and dependable, volunteering at the San
Francisco Zoo may be just what you're looking for. As a volunteer, you will receive
on-the-job training from staff and other volunteers in the area you choose.>>

Perfect example. Doesn't say a thing about age. *wink*
