It's ne

ver too e

arly to start teach

ing your kids th

e value

of community se

rvice.

Getting involve

d in volunte

ering at a young age

can set a life

-long pattern of

advancing th

e com

. There are

many gre

at opportunities for com

munity

service

for kids th

at will e

xpand

their social circle

, teach

them empath

y and

compassion, and

increase

their ch

ances of succe

ss in life.

Encourage

your kids to start b

y looking into volunte

er opportunitie

s with

the

organizations closest to th

em. T

heir sch

ool may h

ave a volunte

er program

that can

arrange place

ments for th

em. Pe

rhaps th

ey could

volunteer at a local lib

rary or

community ce

nter? J

oining a scouting organization is another gre

at way to find

opportunities to give

back

to the com

munity.

Whether you're

young or old, th

e benefits of volunte

ering are

obvious. W

orking w

ith a nonprofit or com

munity organization can e

xpand

your social circle and

create

profe

ssional and acad
