Getting the most out of your experience

Reaching out and getting involved in the community with your kids is a great thing to do. Before you get started you may want to take some time to think about what kind of experience you are looking for. We've created a short list of questions that can help you think through finding the right opportunity to meet your needs, wishes and expectations.

Taking time to discuss with your kids before, during and after your community activity will greatly enhance the experience for everyone. Doing Good Together, a Minnesota based non-profit that supports and encourages family volunteering, has created a helpful guide to assist you in this critical component of any volunteering activity.
