DGT™ Reflection Activities for Family Volunteering

Whether you're new to volunteering, or have a habit of serving others, every experience is different and offers new opportunities for reflection and conversation. This is especially important for children, who are learning and growing as they examine new feelings and insights. That's why we offer these unique reflection activities – with conversation starters and book recommendations – to help families discuss these big-hearted topics together.
