• teaches children the values of kindness, empathy and giving back; 
• empowers children to become leaders of change in their communities; 
• showcases and hones the talents of family members as they work on issues they feel passionate about; 
• builds problem solving skills and strengthens communication within the whole family; 
• provides a fun way for families to make memories together while making significant contributions to their communities.
