Doing Good Together answers the growing demand for family volunteerism with hands-on service projects focused on easing poverty, promoting literacy, supporting the troops, helping the environment, and more.
Each of the 101 self-contained projects provides an overview, time requirements, materials list, step-by-step instructions, debriefing questions, recommended books for kids and teens, and ideas for extending the activity.
The book also features:
- Strategies for attracting families and choosing, planning, leading, and evaluating successful service projects
- 15 community-building games to help participants get to know each other and to enrich the family service experience
- A topical index and index by age that highlights projects for families with young children, elementary and preteen kids, and teens
Who is the book for? Leaders in youth groups, before- and after-school programs, faith communities, family service groups, PTA/PTO and other school-based service initiatives, workplaces, and anyone else eager to promote family service initiatives.
