Teaching children how to get involved in this process helps them become responsible citizens. Choose an older person or couple to help. Rake leaves, care for their lawn or garden, clean or repair their house, or read to them if they cannot see well. Choose a current public issue that your family can support or oppose. Call hospitals, area agencies on aging, nursing homes, or youth groups to find out about volunteer opportunities for your family.
Strong families encourage members to be involved in community activities.
