Basically, you search their site for the available volunteer opportunities with various organizations in your area. You sign up, show up, do your work and Disney will send you a voucher for a 1-day, 1-theme park ticket.
Today, Sweetpea and I did our giving. One of the opportunities in our area was to help out at one of the local Girl Scout camps - perfect volunteer job for a Girl Scout to do :)
We showed up and they had a list of different things that they wanted to be done. I had Sweetpea pick which one she wanted to do and she chose to clean up the dead trees and branches around the cabins.
Luckily, a couple other mom/daughter groups signed up for that as well - so off we went.
We all worked really hard - and boy do my muscles feel it now! Sweetpea said it was fun and was having a good time and made some new friends in the girls that were working with us. One of them was also a Girl Scout.
We accomplished a lot in the 5 hours we were there and feel we really earned our ticket!
If you haven't done so yet, go check out the program and see what is available to you - there is a wide range of things... some as simple as donating blood! It's for a good cause - whether or not you get something in return for it (although I'm sure that's helping). We both feel good about what we did today, and I'm sure you will too!
