If you have no special plans for your holidays， why not spend your time helping others？

Dont listen to people who say young people today think only of themselves. This is not true at all. More and more young people in the USA volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others， and they arent paid to do volunteer work. Here are some of their stories.

Alice Hamilton， 17

Im going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths in the mountains. Its going to be terrific—Ill spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing clean mountain air. Im going to sleep under the stars. It will be good for me， and Ill be able to do something good at the same time.

Jason Moore， 18

This summer， Im going to help with the Special House Program. They build good， low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. Theyll teach me what to do， so Ill help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

Trish Anderson， 16

Im going to teach kids who have trouble reading. Ill work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day， Im going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher， and I love children and reading， so this is going to be a great experience for me.
