No child is too young to volunteer.
I know I am one of many moms looking for simple ways for my young children to do so… and ways we can do so together.
Volunteering is not only a wonderful way to give back, but it also provides numerous health benefits for people of all ages.
However, the legalities and age requirements of many charities and organizations (all of which are understandable) often stop younger people from having the opportunity to serve. And with life so busy these days, we need some quick and easy projects that don’t take much prep or follow-up.
So here begins Kornblue Kiddos, where I will share with you simple ways to get your kiddos giving back in communities near and far before they get to high school and it becomes a community service hour chore. Pick a project and let your kiddos fly—they can get friends and neighbors involved, too!
Anytime, Anywhere
Find a local nursing home, senior living community, hospital, or memory care facility like the Louis and Anne Green Memory & Wellness Center or after school program like the Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton near you and deliver handmade Valentines or notes this month! Even a handful will do…

Help the Boca West Children’s Foundation break its record of collecting 180,000 diapers for The Diaper Bank, Covering South Florida, during its 8th Annual Diaper Drive.
