What is Kids Care Club?

Kids Care Club is a volunteer program hosted by the Cape Fear Volunteer Center that facilitates and promotes youth service throughout the Cape Fear region. The Kids Care Club recruits school aged volunteers and brings them together to lend a helping hand to their community. Not only does Kids Care Club bring child volunteers together to help out around their community, they also instill a sense of duty in them. By sending youth volunteers out into their community, they are imbued with a heightened sense of compassion and a better knowledge of their community and its issues.

There are a diverse range of benefits that come from youth volunteering, both tangible and intangible. Volunteering can be an extremely beneficial activity to add to a resume or a college application. Both universities and potential employers will take special notice of an applicant who has elected to dedicate their time to serving their community. Such a person would be seen as an asset to their prospective organizations. Youth volunteering also aids in the acquisition of useful skills. Going out into the community and working with and for fellow residents teaches youths an abundance of practical expertise that they can continue to employ as they grow into adulthood and throughout their daily lives.  

Youth volunteering also raises self esteem and contributes to a more positive outlook in kids. The feeling of reward that comes with giving back to the community and helping those in need can be a tremendous boost to young volunteers as they grow and learn to navigate through adolescence. This will, in turn, help them form a stronger sense of identity, one that would be less susceptible to peer pressure or negative reinforcement. Volunteering would greatly contribute to strengthening the confidence of young people who have chosen to help improve their community.

In Kids Care Club, youth volunteers will be placed among other young volunteers, hence the “club” in Kids Care Club. They will be connecting with and working alongside many of their peers in the community. The social and collaborative nature of Kids Care Club helps foster teamwork, as well as a sense of camaraderie as they work together to serve their community. This will also make the experience more fun and enjoyable as young volunteers will be working with those close to them in age, rather than adults. Studies show that children who volunteer together are likely to form strong bonds that will last throughout their childhoods and the friends of youth volunteers will be more likely to volunteer alongside them.

As the Kids Care Club works together, these kid volunteers will have a tremendous learning experience in regards to their community. By volunteering to help those in need in their community, they will learn about the many issues that affect it. They’ll learn about the plight of the elderly and disabled, those living in poverty, as well as local environmental concerns. In turn, they will also develop an increased sense of compassion and responsibility to those around them. This hands on experience will help instill a strong sense of civic duty to their community and, perhaps, their society as a whole.

Kids are the future of our world, this was something that a wise man has previously said. I agree with him completely. Civilization is created and built upon the teachings from past generation accompanied by the growth and evolution of the next generation. We should definitely respect the past, however, the future are still in the hands of the children. That is why, it is our jobs as adults to guide them in the right direction, we are responsible for them.

That Kids Care Club is doing just fine. They are able to find a way to help the children who can be the next generation's strength. In today's era, there is an increasing rate of mental health issues that we must focus more. Depression or any psychological problem is not a joke and must provide solutions. This kind of clubs would really be a big help to mold an individual's characteristic to avoid such problems we are facing right now.
