Explain why you do, what you do in your business. Provide flexible scheduling to work around academic commitments and extra curricular activities. Volunteer to help children at your local school, whether or not you are a parent. You can read with or to students, share information about your career or hobby or help with special projects. For St. Louis Park Public Schools contact the Volunteer Office .
Students can help their peers and younger children in many ways.
Invite a new student to join an activity you are involved in. Say hello to younger children and really listen to what they have to say. Look for opportunities to be a mentor, either formally or informally. For other asset building ideas visit Search Institute's web site .
