In the midst of making out “Wish Lists” and writing “Letters to Santa”… scouring ads for deals and bargains… redecorating or remodeling to get ready for guests and parties…
It’s important to remember, and especially to teach our children, the value of giving back and helping those in need.  Throughout the year, Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) helps to give the gift of great futures to nearly four million children. With programs geared towards education, arts, fitness and more, BGCA helps our youth flourish into caring and responsible citizens.
BGCA has created a Great Futures website that creatively helps us teach our kids the real meaning of the holidays.  It features tips for parents on how to give back with their children, an interactive Gift Tag Generator game and a ‘Kids Give Back’ contest where you can vote on your favorite stories of Boys & Girls Club kids in action giving back in their communities.
Visit the BGCA site to vote in the Kids Give Back contest, showcasing BGCA kids giving back in their communities throughout the year, create holiday gift tags with the Gift Tag Generator and even learn tips on how to inspire your kids to give back in your community.  Be sure to check out your local Boys & Girls Clubs’ website to find ways to volunteer in your community!
