5 Unique Ways To Volunteer With Your Children

Volunteering is a great way for children to learn responsibility and the importance of helping others. Here are a few websites to help you and your child get started.  I'm a firm believer in getting young ones started early, many will continue on their own later in life.


1) VolunteerMatch.org - This site features thousands of searchable volunteer opportunities for kids. They have onsite schedule and management tools as well!

2) KidsCare.org - I love the step-by-step guide to various service projects for kids and the abundance of additional resources.

3) TheVolunteerFamily.org - These folks specialize in matching your family with a volunteering opportunity or helps you create a custom, individual opportunity. This site covers the U.S.

4) FirstGiving.com - Here you can create an online fundraising page to raise money for any U.S. non-profit.

5) PajamaProgram.org - Offers kids ideas on how to help collect new pajamas and books for kids in need. There are also tools available to teachers and parents to help organize fundraisers, etc.
