儿童友好志愿者机会
帮助 your kids find their volunteering passion.
Volunteering as a family can be a great way to instill a spirit of giving at a young age and make a difference together. Use these steps to generate volunteer ideas for kids and help them learn how to help others.
发现他们的兴趣
动物, 鸟, 建筑, cooking: Kids have wide-ranging and often diverse interests, and that's the best way to capture and nurture their volunteer spirit. Find something they're passionate about and build on it. 例如, 如果动物能引起他们的注意, an animal shelter or rescue and rehabilitation facility makes a natural fit. If t在这里's a zoo near you, you could check to see if they have any volunteer work for teens. A love for cooking can be channeled into efforts for a community food pantry.
做一些调查
Once children have narrowed down a topic, help them learn more about the issues. Your goal is to broaden their perspective beyond the walls of their home so they can understand other people, 的地方, 文化和问题.
找到一个本地连接
确定, you can find a national or global charity that fits your kid's interest — but you can also look for a local environmental group that is active and visit a natural area they've helped to protect. That's a good way to help your children see firsthand how volunteering directly impacts the world around them. 你可以 捐赠给当地的食品储藏室, making a difference to families in need, or 支持你的急救人员.
Choose a commitment — short-term or ongoing
Once you've identified that local connection, work with your kids to figure out how they can contribute — either once or as an ongoing activity. 例如, 当地的公园可能会有一个清理日, or they may enjoy reading or playing games with retirement home residents once a week.
