What's a good way to volunteer with my kids?

[Zeze]

When they're bit older (9-13++)... these mofos need to build some character and learn what it means to help out others. But I'm looking for something young adults can participate in.

Soup kitchen?
Nursing homes?
Holiday drives?

Scientific experiments. Nothing builds character like subjecting someone to electroshock to test negative reinforcement of ESP powers.

How about non-voluntary blood and organ donation? Scraping barnacles off mega-yachts? Stripping asbestos out of old buildings? There are literally millions of way kids that age can make a difference in the world.

Pick up trash along a trail or in a park.

My wife runs a pro life non profit and one of her other gigs is the annual community dinner. Fed 2400 peeps last Turkey Day. The kid has been volunteering since he could walk. No time like the present.


Or organ donation works too.

Helping out the elderly in the area? House/lawn cleanup, carrying groceries, visiting with them

Good idea. You don't want them growing up posting mostly humble-brag threads.

Walk dogs for a rescue, Some rescues just need people to sit with animals and pet them.

I have some landscaping that needs doing. Nothing builds character like a shovel...
