Have you wanted to volunteer with children but didn't know how to get involved or were never asked to participate?
Variety Children's Charity has two wonderful opportunities that might interest you. If one of the volunteer opportunities interests you (or your friends) please respond by email with either a confirmation or an inquiry for more questions.
VARIETY CHILDREN'S CHARITY is partnering with KEEN. KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now) is a national, nonprofit volunteer-led organization that provides one-to-one recreational opportunities for children and young adults with mental and physical disabilities at no cost to their families and caregivers. KEEN's mission is to foster the self-esteem, confidence, skills and talents of its athletes through non-competitive activities, allowing young people facing even the most significant challenges to meet their individual goals.
Volunteer for one day, two days, or once or twice a month. This effort is on-going for anyone who's interested.
