Young American Volunteers
If you have no special plans for your holiday, why not spend your time helping others？Don't listen to people who say that young people today often think only of themselves. It's not true at all. More and more young people in the USA volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don't do it for money. Here are some of their stories.
Alice Hamilton I'm going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths in the mountains. It's going to be fantastic—-I'll spend the whole summer living in a tent and breathing(呼吸) the clean mountain air. I'm going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, I'll be able to do something good at the same time.
Jason Moore This summer, I'm going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to the families that are not rich. They'll teach me what to do, so I'll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.
Trish Anderson I'm going to teach kids who have trouble reading. I'll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day, I'm going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.

Kids have lots of fun indoor activities nowadays. Three parents and educators are here to share how they encourage children to spend more time outside and connect with nature.
Susie experienced educator | To get kids off screen, I advise parents disconnect too. My students have come to enjoy looking out for birds. They also find joy in using binoculars （双筒望远镜） for birdwatching. One of my students is now known as the local 12-year-old birdwatcher in the community. He's now a better birdwatcher than I am! |
outdoor club volunteer | During a fishing trip with 30 kids aged 10 to 16, I had to get creative to keep them active. So, I came up with an idea: whoever catches a fish gets a gift. Although no one caught a fish, the kids loved it. Next month, we're going to have a boat racing on a nearby river. The key is to create an interesting space and give kids a reason to join in. |
Linda English teacher | When teaching English as a second language, I planned an outdoor math lesson: how to find the size of a garden bed （园圃）. But my students didn't want to do it because of the insects （昆虫） and the hot weather, I then suggested growing something they could eat to make them more interested in the garden. This experience changed my mindset （观念） from "I'm taking them outside" to "We're going outside together". |
