How Can We Help?

There are many ways that people volunteer in their schools, churches, and communities. With your family, think of organizations, groups, or events that use volunteers. List them below. Also, think of nonprofit charitable organizations that work to help people with a variety of needs. Explore the following Web site: learningtogive.org. Select the Resource Room. Here are a few organizations that specifically look for volunteer help from children:

Look in the newspaper for articles and advertisements about organizations that are looking for, or use, volunteers. Also, collect articles about people who have helped others. In addition, cut out any information in the newspaper about nonprofit charitable groups. Bring all of your articles to school for our volunteer scrapbook.

If you or members of your family have volunteered, please describe the experience(s) in writing on a separate sheet of paper. This will be a valuable addition to our Jump into Action volunteer scrapbook.
