Welcome to Doing Good Together!

Who knew family volunteering could be so easy?

Doing Good Together is a nonprofit organization founded in 2004 to inspire and help families volunteer.

Studies show that children whose parents volunteer and are active in their communities are more likely to adopt healthy social values and attitudes, and to help others along the way.

Whether you have five minutes or five hours to give, whether you have an infant or a teen, whether you are doing well or working hard to get by — your family has a contribution to make. And in the process, you’ll be teaching your children that giving back is a natural part of growing up.

By working side-by-side with schools, parent groups, faith groups, businesses and other organizations, Doing Good Together makes the volunteer process accessible and easy so families can participate together.
