Great Day Tampa Bay Lifestyle Raising Children TV Segments Volunteering

Raising Good People & Volunteering With Kids || Tampa Mama on Great Day Tampa Bay 

Raising good people is what we all want to do. We are raising them to be compassionate, responsible and understand that helping others is the right thing to do.

My little assistant came with me to tape my segment at the News Channel 10 Studios.

I was recently on Great Day Tampa Bay and talked about tips for volunteering with kids, fun ideas and where you and your kids and volunteer here in the Tampa Bay Area.

Tips from the segment to get kids into volunteering include:

  • Find friends to volunteer with because it’s fun to volunteer in groups.
  • Helping others doesn’t have to be so formal.
  • Find and organization and call them to see how you can get involved.
  • Check with organizations on age requirements.
  • Volunteer as a family.
  • Lead by example. Teach them that volunteering is just helping others that need help. They will carry this life lesson with them forever.
  • Always call and ask how you can help!  They won’t turn you down!

Here’s a link to the organizations I mentioned (as well as a few others that I have found thanks to some awesome readers) that do welcome kid volunteers in the Tampa Bay area:

  • Children’s Cancer Center
  • Feeding America Tampa Bay
  • Metropolitan Ministries
  • Humane Society of Tampa Bay
  • Southeast Guide Dogs

Also remember that there are other things to do that are less formal:

  • Make cards for those is our armed forces
  • Bake something for someone else
  • Go bring someone flowers
  • Drop by a fire station and say “thank you”
  • Drop by a retirement community and ask how you can help
  • Help someone in your neighbor hood
  • Do something nice for someone else
  • Go buy gifts to give to those less fortunate
  • Donate food from your pantry to an organization that feeds the less fortunate
  • Donate your time to an organization that you would like to help

Lessons are learned everyday. We want to raise good people and we can do this by setting the example for our kids. Be the change you want to see in the world.
