Question: Kid Volunteers

Our school would like to have our kids be involved with service. We have many of them who really enjoy helping out. What is a great way to promote the kids to help out within the school? Maybe by counting labels, handing out snacks at events etc. or small tasks teachers may need help with? THoughts or ideas? Incentives? Does anyone have experience with this?
