The best thing each of us can do to strengthen the lives of our community’s children is to make sure we find ways – both big and small – to offer real evidence that we care. Some suggestions for how you can contribute to building a caring environment for the kids in your communíty include:
1. Get involvéd in your local school by joining a school-sponsored program, e.g., a regularly-scheduled commitment to read to a class, bẹ a tutor, or help reíeree sports games; volunteering at special events; supporting the schools efforts to build relationships in your community.
2. Become a mentor for a young person. Mentoring has proven to be one of the most effective ways to help a young person deíine and work towards goals, as well as to.take responsibility and pride in their actions.
3. Share a special skill or talent. If you’re an athlete, or just love sports, contact your local public rẹcreation department and volunteer to be a coach, or reíeree. If you’re a dancer, teach classes to kids. If you’re a Computer aíicionado, volunteer your skills at a local school or create an after-school or Saturday program. If you’ve got a flaừ for reading aloud, volunteer to read to kids at your local library. In other words, share from your life-experience and from your heart.
Kids who sense they’re part of a community that really cares about them are all that more inclined to feel comíortable discussing troubling íeelings, such as loneliness. It’s a great thing to have someone – a teacher, parent, neighbor, someone in their daily world saying “Hey, how are you doing?” and then making it understood that they really care about hearing whatever the kid’s answer might be.
