In It To Win It

When couples team up to volunteer for their kids activities the benefits are doubled for all involved. At first, it might seem like a daunting proposal to take on that much responsibility. I mean, you’re already juggling and running like kids party magicians right?

Volunteering together means you’ll know what’s going on behind the scenes. Consequently, there will be fewer surprises and dropped balls. Above all, communication is going to be the key to being a successful team.

2. Work as a team for the team

Shake off the pom poms and celebrate your shared goals, values and enthusiasm. Because, wherever you are volunteering, they definitely need that kind of dedication and drive.

Therefore, you become that power couple people can rely on to get things done. Finally, don’t forget that your teaching your kids to place value in helping others.
