Living and bringing up children in the sometimes overly ostentatious city of LA, 4GOOD wants to help parents teach their kids the importance of giving back. That ones measure of success is not only in what you do for a living, but more so in what you do when you ARE living. Help us lead by example while together as a civic minded community we come together and actively participate by taking time t
o give back with our kids by our side.
4GOOD believes that while there has been a huge movement emphasizing volunteerism, there is still a missing link; to include the kids even the youngest ones. By participating in the events found and created by 4GOOD, parents can show their children the values of kindness, compassion, tolerance, community responsibility and good citizenship while spending time together as a family. Research shows that children whose parents set the example of giving back and provide volunteer opportunities are 2 times more likely to volunteer as adults than children who are not exposed.
“The best part is watching the kids see first hand, how important it is to give back! It gives them a whole new perspective on what’s important and we feel that we are helping to create a community of future “do-GOOD-ers”! Hopefully we are empowering them to continue to do GOOD for the rest of their lives. It's been an amazing journey and we hope to continue to build the 4GOOD community so more families will be inspired to give back!” says Erika Athanas, co-founder and executive director of 4GOOD.
