Family volunteering provides an opportunity to

• Help your child develop compassion, understanding of others, and respect for our environment.
• Spend quality time with your family by engaging in meaningful, hands-on community service activities.
• Pass along important values, attitudes, and beliefs.
• Support future generations of community volunteers.  Studies show that children who volunteer are much more likely to continue as adults and carry on the tradition with their own children.
