This is the last of five episodes when I am humbled to step in with a mini-series on volunteering so our podcast editor volunteers can enjoy a well-deserved break. In this mini-series, we’re breaking volunteering down into age groups. Prior episodes targeted retirees, the majority of the working adult population, and college-age – slash-young professionals. This week is about children and youth. I am here today to personally encourage children and youth to volunteer. Because of this, you may be a child, a pre-teen, a teenager, or one of their parents. I am glad you’re each here!
