On November 28, between 11 and 4pm, the National Children's Museum will support family volunteering at the Launch Zone, inviting children and their families to craft gifts and holiday decorations benefiting sick children of The Children’s Inn at National Institutes of Health. In pairing NCM’s resources with personal creativity, kid volunteers see how their hard work and compassion can make a difference in the lives of others.
Benefits of Volunteering:·
- Strengthens teamwork. Local communities prosper from the attention of many.
- Develops awareness. Children are exposed to who and what makes a community.
- An expanded world perspective evokes values of respect for diversity and compassion toward others. Fosters discussion. Family members reflect and trade stories after the volunteer experience. Communication is enhanced as families connect.
- Cultivates inspiration. Parents model proactive community involvement. Children reframe a single act of volunteering as a lifelong habit.
- Take your family to pick up trash from a local park. Pack a Frisbee to let loose after a day of work or school.
- Arrange a day of volunteering with your child and a fellow classmate’s family. Everyone will learn you can have fun while making a difference.
