Caring Cubs

Description

Caring Cubs holds monthly events for young children, ranging from approximately ages 2 to 7, designed to teach various lessons of social responsibility. Our founders are a group of parents who were looking to volunteer with our kids, repeatedly met with the response that we should volunteer ourselves and just bring our kids along. Our group, instead, plans events where the children themselves can participate in a hands-on activity, thereby taking personal pride in working toward a greater purpose. Although many worthy organizations already exist that direct older kids to give back to community, we found that none of them were focused specifically on the very youngest members of our society, namely preschool and early elementary school students. Hence, Caring Cubs was created to fill that void. The idea is that it is never too early to begin teaching children about philanthropy -- the key is to do it in an age-appropriate way.
