Ways to Volunteer with Your Kids

Everyone wants their children to learn and know about the world around them, and a great hands-on practice is volunteer work. Is there a better way to learn than getting out there and doing something that benefits others?

1.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] Unfortunately, every community has residents without homes who need shelter, food or clothing. Volunteer to make or serve food at pantries or shelters that serve these people in your community. Take it a step further, and organize your own food drive to collect and deliver much-needed food to these organizations.

2.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] One of the biggest impacts on the environment is discarded trash. Take your children to a location like the beach or a park, and pick up trash. Also, check with local organizations to see if they are hosting annual cleanup days. Many groups hold events each year to clean up rivers, highways and other public lands.

3.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] Most children love animals, so volunteering at a local animal shelter or rescue operation is a great way to get them involved. Visit the animal shelters, and walk the creatures that are waiting in cages to find homes. Kids also can help out by collecting pet food and other supplies that are in constant demand at animal shelters.

4.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] Most families have more clothes than they really need. Clean out your wardrobes, and gather your gently used belongings and take them to a nearby shelter. Use this activity as a teaching opportunity for your children, explaining how we can use what we have to help others. Take it a step further, and help them organize their own community clothing drive for local organizations.

5.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] Volunteering with your children provides a great way to show your kids other life lessons as well. Take your kids to the grocery store, and give them a dollar. Have them pick out the most cost-effective food – which becomes a maths lesson for your kids, too – and then take it to a shelter or food drive. Another example is having your children read to seniors in the hospital, which helps improve the kids’ skills.

A Celebrate the holidays.

B Go to the dogs.

C Clean your closets.

D Go on litter closets.

E Teach your kids.

F Do it for the kids.

G Help the homeless.

H Go to the local children’s hospital.
