It has been hard finding volunteer opportunities for kids the ages of mine. I was thinking about Habitat for Humanity too, and would love to get the whole family involved in that at some point!Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923351017372401619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38178992.post-54331220886807842232014-04-10T07:16:51.243-07:002014-04-10T07:16:51.243-07:00It's part of my plan for the kids whether we c...It's part of my plan for the kids whether we continue to homeschool or not. My son would love to work for Habitat for Humanity, and I've told him that's fine but have suggested he learn a bit of carpentry before then. My daughter just turned 9, so most places won't even give her the time of day when it comes to volunteering, which is sad. She could help at the local soup kitchen, but she's a sensitive soul and doesn't want to do that - she'd rather work with animals as well. She'll find her niche someday. We've done the Angel Tree at Christmas and donated goods (and money, though the kids don't know that) to fire/tornado victims, and we help a friend raise money for her juvenile diabetes association, but I don't even know that the kids consider those things to be community involvement. They just think it's what you DO. And I guess I like that :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741485605994137496noreply@blogger.com
