How Can You Help A Kid Be A Sensation at School This Year?
This is an easy question, with an even easier answer!
One research project after another on the subject of volunteering has shown time and time again that making a difference in someone else's life can lead to big positive changes in your own!
The Helpline Center has been an advocate of both life-changing experiences. Over the last several years, one of the most fun, successful, and soul-satisfying programs they offer has been the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Projects.
Every month they suggest taking on a project on your own, with friends, or family, your church or youth group, service clubs, business groups, and more.

It could be anything, and while they suggest a monthly project, you can choose any of them, to do anytime, and then offer them to Helpline suggested agencies, shelters, churches, etc.
Here is just one suggestion for you:
- Back-to-School Backpacks - Every year thousands of kids have to start the school year without the supplies they need and/or want. You can help a child be a success in school just by lending a hand.
