What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the importance of volunteering and how the Internet has made it so much easier for those looking for ways to help. Do you think all Web sites are safe when it comes to finding volunteering opportunities? What are some safe practices you should use when talking to people or sharing information online?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Volunteering has never been so easy, and in these tough times, more necessary. Volunteer Match takes the toil and intimidation out of signing up for service. Easy-to-use tools like email alerts, time-tracking, and a personal volunteering resume support kids' efforts by helping them stay organized -- which in turn will help them stay committed.

Great site!
This site is great! I think all teens should volunteer before they graduate high school.

Only so-so
It was ok. It was pretty helpful but I love working with kids and teaching kids and just hanging out with kids and there were not many opportunities for me.
