1. Do something with a child (in addition to your own children; a child you know, and whose parents know you) -- that will make some kind of positive difference or impact on that child. A list with 100+ ideas for home, work, your place of worship, & in the community to make a positive difference to children can be found at: 100+ Ways to Make a Difference to Children.
2. Support an organization that serves children. It could be your local community education dept or public schools, YMCA, Boy or Girl Scouts, place of worship, park and recreation or any other organization that serves kids. Your support might be as a volunteer, or a financial donation. They're all non-profits, and they always need more support!
3. Tell your policy makers to support initiatives that are good for kids ... like your school board, city council, county commissioners, state legislators & congressional delegation; summer is generally a more relaxed time to communicate with them. Share your own story about Making a Difference to Children, and WHY it's important to support programs for children.
4. Tell other people about this campaign -- like your neighbors, relatives, friends, people at work, worship, school or play - Print out this one page flyer and post it somewhere ... Forward the link to this web page to others who would be interested and act to make a difference to children.
