IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember not to talk to just anyone, especially strangers. The lessons you’ve already learned about strangers still apply! If you are under 18, ALWAYS talk to your parent or guardian and get permission before starting anything new! We encourage you to join an organized volunteer program like PGOM!
