Together We Can Change The World Day (T-Day) is designed to make it possible for everyone to join together on the first Saturday of every month, helping to change the world one person at a time. We encourage projects large and small, projects that benefit one person or projects that reach millions.
This week we would like to think specifically about projects for families! When we volunteer together as a family, we are helping others in need as we bring about an incredible sense of pride and fulfillment within our own household. Whether the project is volunteering at a local animal shelter, cleaning a playground, running errands for neighbors who need assistance, raising funds for larger projects, or anything in between, family T-Day projects provide a fun and interesting way to spend a Saturday together.
Service projects give us an opportunity to relate to each other on a whole new level. As the family makes plans for the project date around the dinner table, they will find great opportunities to discuss service, values, kindness, and sharing. Try having each member of the family choose the project for each month (why not give them their birthday month to choose).
There is hardly a better way to prompt a conversation about people who need help and what it means to be a hero. We have added a check box on our Project Registration section of http://www.togetherwecanchangetheworldday.com/ to indicate whether a project welcomes children. Of course, some projects are more family-friendly than others, but the possibilities have no limit.
Don't forget to enter your project into the website to inspire and mobilize others with your ideas!
