Looking for ways to involve your kids in local service projects? Generation SERVE invites parents to include their children and teens in giving back to the community, with organized, age-appropriate opportunities. When kids get involved at a young age, it helps them understand the needs of our community, build empathy for others and the realization that they have the power to make a difference.
On Sunday, Nov. 6, we join Generation SERVE in celebrating National Family Volunteer Day with a special event, the 6th Annual Austin Families Give Back, a free, city-wide day of service to introduce children and families to volunteerism! This extra-large family service fair will be held at the Austin Central Library downtown and will support 30+ local nonprofit organizations working in the areas of animal care, child welfare, education, environmentalism, health & wellness, poverty, and senior support.
Families at the event will have the opportunity to sample hands-on volunteer projects that are kid-friendly and will make a big impact for organizations. All ages are welcome! There are over 20 different service projects to choose from during this one-day opportunity that does not require any long-term commitment.
Sign up now to attend a timed session at Family Volunteer Day! There are three, flexible arrival windows for you. You may arrive anytime during the timeframe you sign up for. Then stay as long as you’d like. The library opens at noon on Sundays, so head upstairs to find a good book to read with your family afterwards!
