While many families find the inspiration to volunteer in the community during the holiday season, it can be even more meaningful to find a way to give back throughout the year. Volunteering on a regular basis can help the family to feel connected to the community, instill a sense of social responsibility in children, and ensure that those in need have ready access to help, no matter the season.
Many church groups and community organizations organize charity events and volunteer opportunities throughout the year, but individual families can also develop their own volunteer plan tailored to fit their members and the causes they care about most.
Selecting the right volunteer project for your family can go a long way in making sure that what’s meant to be a rewarding tradition doesn’t become a begrudging chore. Parents should consider the ages and attention spans of all participating children when selecting a location, activity, and duration. Little kids may not be welcome at the local soup kitchen, but their sorting skills can come in handy at the food pantry. (Parents should check with program staff about age requirements.)
However your family contributes to the community, the experience is bound to bring you, your children, and your neighbors closer together. Here are 8 family-friendly volunteer opportunities.
