Last week, I began volunteering at The Caring Place in Allentown, PA. The Caring Place is a youth center that, as stated on its website, "reach(es) out to young people who may be exposed to drugs, violence, teen pregnancy, unemployment and hopelessness everyday."
While there, we always start with a cooked dinner and eat together. I enjoy having conversations with both the children and the other volunteers during this time. Afterwards, the children have a chance to either work on schoolwork or some other educational activity. Then, they have a chance for some fun activities, ranging from card games like UNO, arts and crafts, playing Connect Four, or games on computers at the center.
The Caring Place is an excellent center where volunteers can make a difference in the lives of local children.
