For the longest time, I tried to find a way to volunteer with my oldest child, Diva Jr. Unfortunately, I worked out of the house both full and part time before she went to Kindergarten (not to mention completed my degree), so it never worked out.

Luckily, I’ve found a way to show her the value of volunteering and helping others out by doing so as much as possible at her school. By doing this, I mean to show her that the things her school does are worth my time, are valuable, and that I support them.

Now that I am home two days a week with my little one, Beast, age 4, I’ve found a great program that shows him the value of volunteering, too. Meals on Wheels is a program that delivers food to the home-bound, elderly and shut-ins. I am so blessed that the program in my town allows me to bring him with me, and that the time commitment and responsibilities are manageable with a 4 year old.

What ideas do you have for volunteering with your children? Have you ever found anything that fits your family?
