now here's real incentive for doing some giving back.
in 2010 (just a sneeze away), for a day of service worked, you can earn a free day at the disney theme parks.
it is a nice reward for your efforts and a great way for children to get a real pay off for what normally shouldn't get any pay off - except a full heart. click onto the link for participating non profits and specific details for registration.
the lesson: when we expose our kids to service learning, it is important for them to get the idea that they are making a difference, and that alone is it's own reward. however a ride on Pirates feels pretty great, too!
*** added bonus: um... it's a free pass to disneyland.
