National Family Volunteer Day, a Points of Light signature
day of service, demonstrates and celebrates the power of families who volunteer
together, supporting their neighborhoods, communities and the world. For 22 years, Family Volunteer Day has been held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving to “kick-off” the holiday season with giving and service. This year Family Volunteer Day takes place on November 23rd.
Family volunteering encourages the members of a family to
volunteer as a unit. It can be done by the whole family together, by one parent
and one child or teen, or with extended family such as grandparents, aunts,
uncles and cousins. It can be as simple as creating cards for children in the
hospital or as complex as bonding hundreds of families together in a day of
service at a community park. However families choose to do it, families engaged
in service can help mobilize thousands of new volunteers and instill in the
next generation a lifelong commitment to volunteering.
