When I first told my kids that they would be volunteering at an animal rescue mission they thought that I had gone completely mad. They wondered why we would be cleaning animal cages and washing dog dishes for no pay. After the first visit, they could hardly wait for our monthly outing. Kids love to help, but often don't know how. This year, get your children involved in helping out in the community. There are people in nursing homes that would love company or someone to read to them. There are kittens in shelters that need to be played with and cuddled. Be inventive. Once your kids get into the happen of being of service they will likely volunteer all their lives. And they will enrich their own lives and the lives of others.
