Hopefully you’re enjoying your summer and have had time to de–stress, relax, and participate in a lot of fun activities! Have you thought about making your summer extra memorable? It’s not too late to make a difference by planning an event or an experience that will benefit others. It will likely stand out as one of your favorite and most rewarding summer memories.

Here are some ideas:

• Volunteer for a cause that’s especially important to you (ex. “Walk for Hunger”, cancer awareness, etc.). You can reach out to different organizations and offer to help.
• Organize an event (ex. dance, car wash, bottle drive, yard sale) to raise funds for a fall class trip.
• Clean out your closet and donate clothes and accessories that you no longer want to a charity.
• Help out at a local pet shelter.

These are just a few examples of how you can make your summer memorable while making a positive impact in the lives of others. Do you have any ideas?
