Volunteering with kids

I was wondering if anyone knew of any places my 12 year old and I could do volunteer work one weekend a month in Sydney? Have emailed a few places but am told she has to be over 18. Surely there is somewhere suitable where we can do this together? Thank you!

If she has to be 18 how about visiting folks at the aged care homes who don't have family visit?

Maybe contact some of the charities that have donation tins and see if you can do something like that. Standing on the highway collecting or down at the local shopping centre. There's a lot of smaller charities. Even your local animal shelter :) They'd appreciate any help!

Animal shelters!! My local one has kids volunteering with their stall at the markets on a Sunday.
