Ask your teacher for guidelines on what counts, then we can make more helpful suggestions. Libraries and Nursing Homes usually need volunteers.
You like shopping? If your town or city has a program that works with Senior Citizens, I bet you could volunteer to buy and deliver groceries to shut-ins. If the town doesn't, enquire at a church. Keep in mind that the interaction with the volunteer - the chance for a visitor - is equally important to shut-ins as the groceries, if not more important. Do you like old people? A lot of young people think they don't like old people, until they get to know some. Older people are often fascinating individuals with lots of stories to tell. Just think - 70 years ago, most people didn't even have television, and telephone were often "party lines." Think how much technology has changed - that's just one topic of conversation.
