What are some summer projects for teenagers to do?

Plant a garden.

Volunteer for Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

Volunteer for a hospice unit.

Volunteer to help seniors.

Volunteer in an animal shelter.

If you’re into arts and crafts maybe you could start a scrapbook with some photographs of your family and friends from school or make collages out of fabric and magazine clippings.

I think starting a garden is a great idea. Check out your local community garden or start it at home if you have the space. Plant some flowers and perhaps some fruits and veggies for your family to enjoy.

If you want to make a little money this summer, you can always mow lawns, paint, house sit, dog walk, baby sit, etc.

Volunteering is another really great suggestion. I’m sure there are plenty of people in your community who could use your help.

Get some friends together and make a movie.

Sub-24 Hour Overnight bike ride, also known as a S24O.

Ride somewhere, sleep outside, ride home.

camping, road trips, find a job.

Grow a giant pumpkin and see how big you can get it.
