 🌟 It's Hard to Find Volunteers Right Now, But Why You Shouldn't Give Up! Despite these hurdles, it's crucial not to give up. Here’s why: Community Impact: Volunteers are the backbone of many community initiatives. Their efforts drive positive change, offering support and services that might otherwise be unavailable. Personal Growth: Volunteering is a two-way street. It provides individuals with skills, experiences, and a sense of purpose. Building Connections: It creates networks of like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of belonging and shared goals. Inspiration: Every volunteer story can inspire others to step up and make a difference.

Research in the UK has found that "while nearly all primary school children participate in charitable activities, fewer than 20% understand the causes they support or have any say in how they engage with these efforts." Kids In Philanthropy is committed to changing that narrative by empowering children to actively participate in decision-making, explore causes they care about, and lead with curiosity and compassion. By nurturing students' inherent sense of empathy and involving them in decision-making, we help them build lifelong habits of meaningful civic engagement. For example, instead of simply encouraging children to fundraise for food banks, we help them explore the underlying causes of food poverty and provide them with opportunities to engage in hands-on volunteering, fostering a deeper understanding of social justice. https://lnkd.in/gYDWaDzs
