When we moved to Texas almost five years ago, I was thrilled
to learn that there was an organization a short distance away in Austin focused
on family volunteering, as I had a budding dream of starting a family volunteering
organization myself. When I had the
opportunity to meet Marissa Vogel, the founder and Executive Director, I was
even more excited. She not only had the
passion, heart, and drive necessary to run a non-profit, but she also had a
great business sense that I knew would help Little Helping Hands to succeed. Little Helping Hands runs volunteering
projects for youth ages 3 and up almost every day of the week, year round. (This month, they are conducting over 80
projects!) For older children and
teens, they offer educational and leadership programs to help them reach toward
their vision of “developing generations of community-minded leaders and
citizens.” You can learn more here and
here. Someday, maybe my budding dream will become a reality and we can bring what Little Helping Hands offers to our area.
