I have been volunteering with my mom since I was 9 years old. Over the last three years, we’ve done all sorts of interesting and fun volunteering projects! We’ve bagged peppers at a food bank, sorted through old hotel shampoo and conditioner bottles to make homeless hygiene kits and raked leaves at a low income apartment complex.

 Every year in April is Global Youth Services Day. This is a weekend where kids all over the world are encouraged to do something good for their communities. It doesn’t matter where you live, it is important to be kind and make the world a better place.
