Volunteering Opportunities around the Metro

Whether you are young or old, giving of your time and talents not only helps those you are serving but provides numerous benefits back to you. Better self-esteem, a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of connection with the community.... Many counselors and psychologists suggest volunteering as a way to beat depression!

MetroFamily is trying to make it easy for our readers and their families to find volunteer opportunities but we need your help to make the list complete. Please email us with any opportunities you know should be added to this list. 

Thank you and happy volunteering!  ~ MetroFamily Magazine

  • Volunteering: A win-win situation

    Looking for summer plans for your teen? Consider the many benefits of volunteerism—preteens and teens are an untapped resource. Don’t be intimidated by the fact that they groan when they do chores at home. Kids are more likely to agree to help a cause than to clean their rooms! Use these suggestions to begin a tradition of volunteerism with your teenager.

  • Kids and Volunteering: How to get them started

    Getting your kids to volunteer in their community will not only keep them busy and active, but can also result in an educational and rewarding experience. Through volunteering, kids learn important life skills such as responsibility, caring, independence and organization. Kids are also able to see how good they may have it, which can result in an appreciation for what they have, and how important it is to help and serve others.
