"I am very glad that I found your organization!  I have been looking for volunteer opportunities that I can do with my daughter to instill the importance of volunteerism in her at a young age.  Unfortunately, many places will not let her come due to her age...I love that you are supporting kids in becoming life-long volunteers and helping them to understand the importance of helping others."  -- Mother of 7-year-old in Frederick, MD
