Grade 9 student trying to complete 40 hours of community service needs help regarding recreation and parks. Give some examples of opportunities. P.s be specific.
 
In the San Francisco Bay Area where I live, there are administrative offices overseeing different parks who host clean up, train maintenance, native plant restoration and other events in which high school students are invited to participate.

You might also check the local branch of the Sierra Club for your area.

Also, find out from your school whether helping to coach a litte league team would satisfy their requirements. If so, contact recreation offices to find out when basketball, soccer, baseball, track & field, wrestling, gymnastics and other programs are being offered. Maybe one of your former little league coaches would enjoy having you as an assistant coach for his current team.

Finally, is there a chapter of "Special Olympics" in your area? You should call them and see what possibilities exist for you to coach "special athletes" or helping out with their competitions (somebody has to keep score, keep time, work the scoreboard, help "special athletes" get lined up for their events, etc.

Hope these ideas help.
