[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they like animals? It won't take up the whole summer but there is always lots of work with rescue and foster organizations - you could volunteer once a week (or even every other week) to walk dogs, or snuggle/play with kittens who need socialization, plus a bit of good hard work (cleaning up poop and folding mountains of laundry).

Np. My kids would love this but the organizations we’ve checked with still aren’t allowing volunteers due to Covid. Sigh. Looks like another summer of a lot of hiking. [/quote]

Depending on how much work you're willing to do yourself and how responsible your kids are, you could try to foster in your home or look into respite fostering (usually short term when another foster family needs a break or goes on vacation). We have previously done respite fostering for orphaned kittens and the kids LOVE it. Obviously the kids shouldn't be handling neonates or bottle-fed babies, but with slightly older/more robust ages they love sitting in the kitten room and playing with them. It's like a shiny new toy without the 20 year commitment :lol: [/quote]
