Most high school kids — nearly all high school kids — don't exactly jump at the thought of spending their spare time doing community service. Some students even question why community service hours are even required at all. Unfortunately, if community service hours were not mandatory, almost no one would volunteer in the community! You know that community service is required, but how can you find out what community service opportunities are out there in Broward County and more importantly, which ones suit you?

That's where we come in. The Opp-Guide to Community Service in Broward County was designed to help you find community service ideas based on your interests. We provide reviews of various community service organizations in the Greater Fort Lauderdale, Florida area. Written specifically by teens for teens, the reviews are honest, occasionally funny, candid, and help fill the missing link between actually enjoying volunteering and only being there for the credit.

We would like to give special thanks to Youth Service America (YSA), Northern Trust, Do Something.org, at15 Challenge and Ashoka’s Youth Venture for supporting The Opp-Guide. We are now a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization and welcome all contributions which are tax deductible.
