After-school activities can teach kids leadership skills and how to work to gether while making them feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves. Volunteering with youth-based organi zations is a great way for adults to make a real difference in the lives of children. Inquire among your network of friends when looking for a youth organization to work with. Friends may be in touch with sports leagues or other community groups that are looking for volunteers. If your child has an interest in a particular sport, find out if the league is looking for coaches or parents to work in other capacities for the team. This is a great way to get in volved without compromising your child's sense of individuality. Volunteer work is beneficial no matter where one directs his or her energy. However, the experience can be even more re warding when it involves working with children.
