[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 745761, member: 1550"] I dont think it was the question. I really dont. Maybe they feel he needs to mature a bit. What did he do for the shelter? What were his duties? I volunteered at a busy homeless shelter. Our homeless shelter was in a church too and the clients had to empty at 6am. It was not their home....the church was generous enough to give them a place to sleep when the church personnel were not there. We stayed with tjem all night and packed tjem a lunch. Different churches took turns and rhe people were given free tickets for the train each day so that at night they could ride to the next church. If you are really upset about it, maybe you can call the person in charge. At our shelter you had to be 18 to volunteer there so maybe they DID change the rule. It could be rough at our shelter with foul language and people crying their hearts out. Most clients unemployed drug addicts....I could go on and on about why young kids could not volunteer. I cant imagine anyone under 18 being okay emotionally in the environment. Maybe thats it. Or maybe it is something about your son,nothing bad, that makes them think he should wait. You wont know if you dont ask. [/QUOTE]
