You can also start out by getting involved in your own community and learning the importance of serving others. You can help out at your local food pantry, visit nursing homes, help clean up the local parks, hosting lemonade stands where proceeds go to a worthy cause, food drives, etc. You are never to young or too old to make a difference!
Here are a list of some of my favorite worthy causes:
- Boys & Girls Clubs of America
- Big Brothers Big Sisters
- AmeriCorps
- Peace Corps
