I agree 100% - giving a little bit of yourself to a cause you care deeply about is important to developing as person. I'm glad you and your son were able to find something you are both passionate about, and enjoy supporting that cause as a team. Frank,

Last summer, I wanted my son to see that developing this part of his life was important, so I decided that I should focus on one cause. I asked him what he would like to be involved in, and he responded that he would like to volunteer at the food bank. I buy extra groceries each week for the food bank, so I imagined that he wanted to see the other side of it. I called to find out if an eleven year old could come and volunteer with his parent, and they said yes. We spent a great summer sorting cans in that warehouse once a week, and I have continued to do so. Since this experience, I have suggested to others that you should pick one cause to be really involved in, because I feel that it enriches your experience with it.
