Hi Jacob,
How great that you realize you enjoy helping people, especially children. I would recommend finding out about local children's charities in your area. After a quick google search for "children charity" + your city or town, you should find information on those nearest to you.
Other options that come to mind are to find a Big Brother Big Sister organization where you can mentor a child, or get in touch with your local children's hospital to find out if they have a need for volunteers. Additionally, you can find out if a local scouts troop is in need of volunteers or scout leaders.

Hi Jacob!
It is amazing that you feel that love and responsibility for helping kids at such a young age. Courtney had very good suggestions for volunteering so I'm going to take the career route.
See below some careers you can choose from to impact children's lives:
- Teacher/Professor/Tutor
- Social Worker (in schools, hospitals, foster agencies, etc)
- Guidance Counselor
- Special Education for disabled children
- Administrative/Manager role in a non-profit organization
