This is a good idea that what other teenagers could go volunteer. Also this could be a good way for anyone in the community could help out.
"Not many people are willing to give up some of their time to call random strangers to petition their involvement for a President's campaign. Whenever I make a call, I feel part of something, it might not seem very exciting, but I feel helpful."
