Volunteer

Use the search tool below to find age-appropriate service opportunities near you or that can be completed anywhere!
Create the Change® partners with nonprofit organizations that we believe have age-appropriate service opportunities for youth and families. All of our partners sign a collaboration agreement promising to provide age-appropriate activities in a safe environment. Create the Change® does not run, host, or facilitate the service opportunities seen here, nor are we responsible in any way for the management (financial or otherwise) of the organizations we feature. Always be sure to research the nonprofit organization and service opportunities available to make sure it's a good fit for you before getting started. You may find the organization's contact information on their profiles.

Description

Our mission is to empower communities to leap into the future of clean energy.

Students will explore the relationship between water and energy (water-energy nexus) by building a model to see how water travels from a source to get to our homes, schools, and businesses. 

Students will discover how water and energy are connected through the water-energy nexus, and why this relationship  is essential to many of our ecosystems.

What's Needed To Complete

  • ½ cup of water
  • 2 medium bowls
  • aluminum tin, a baking sheet, or an empty pizza box
  • straws, any plastic tubing, or make your own: 
    • cut a 6-inch piece of foil and find a pencil or pen
    • roll the foil around the pencil or pen until it is wrapped tightly 
    • cut both tips of the foil off and guide the pencil or pen out of the foil!
