How to help your youth choose the right volunteer opportunity or community service?
We have to start with the youths' interests. Like adults, a commitment that answers the interests of the youth will more likely have a positive impact on his volunteering experience.
Encourage your child to initiate the process himself. This is an integral part of the volunteering experience.
The quality of the involvement depends in large part with the support measures adopted by the organization. Does the organization have screening measures to protect its clientele or personnel? Is the youth volunteer provided with a mentor or is he left on his own?
If you have any concerns, do not hesitate to talk with the organization or the Center.
Invite your child to view the opportunities on our website or then again to come meet us during an information meeting.
Family Volunteering
More and more organizations offer families the possibility of getting involved with the parents and the children. It's a nice opportunity to foster community service and spend quality time as a family. Review the list of volunteering opportunities to find the family volunteering opportunities.
