QPL Releases Parents Guide for DIY Service Projects for Kids
Queens Public Library is offering help to parents seeking to find community service options for their younger children.
This week, a "Parents Guide to DIY Service for Kids" was released by the library's Civic Engagement team to support younger students and their parents who are seeking volunteer hours and opportunities.
Elementary and middle school students are increasingly required by teachers and other civic groups to participate in community service projects within their neighborhoods. However, institutions including the city's three library systems, restrict many service opportunities for anyone under the age of fourteen.
The purpose of the guide is to give parents and children concrete ideas about potential service projects that can be conducted at home, school, or in other communal spaces.
The guide is expected to be updated on a yearly basis with new and revised projects.
