I first met Jenny Friedman, the Executive Director of Doing Good Together several years ago when our kids were young and I was looking for
a way to do good for others with young children and a full-time job in a new
city. Although Doing Good Together is
based in Minneapolis, they have a nationwide reach with their Big Hearted
Families program which offers ideas for projects that can be done from
anywhere, in addition to resources (e.g., recommended age-appropriate books in
their Big Hearted Book Club) and a community of like-minded parents. Jenny is an expert in youth development and
family volunteering and her organization does great work that has had a
significant impact on my family, as we've been able to do several of the projects on the site and have used several of the resources. You can
learn more here and here.
