Littlest Volunteers - Contest

Have you found a way to teach your young child the joys of volunteering? Please share your story with us — and tell us what you and your little one have learned from the experience. You could win up to $5,000 to donate to your favorite charity. Wondertime magazine and The Walt Disney Company, with judging help from the HandsOn Network, will award 3 Grand Prize $5,000 awards and 10 First Prize $1,000 awards to the charities chosen by the winning Teams. The entry deadline is February 28, 2009.

Note: To participate in this contest, an adult (parent, caregiver, or early childhood educator) must volunteer with a child aged 8 and younger.

As part of the entry process, you'll be asked to answer the following questions:

Short Questions

Which members of your Team volunteered together? Please give names, ages, and relationships (i.e., John, 36, father, and James, 5, son), and be specific about which members of the family did what work on the Project.
How often and when did you volunteer? (i.e., "twice a month in July and August" or "three hours on the first Saturday of every month").
Approximately how many hours per person in all of 2008 were spent volunteering on this particular Project? Please individually list each person and his or her total volunteer hours.
What is your name and e-mail address, (which will be used only for the purposes of contacting you regarding the Contest)?

Essay Questions

What was the Project? Please be specific when naming the organization(s) helped.
What was special about the experience of volunteering with a child?
What did your volunteer work teach both you and your child?

NOTE: You'll probably want to take a moment to get your answers ready before entering (a good idea is to use a word processor, then paste your entries into the form), since all entry fields must be completed in one session.

So enter the Littlest Volunteers Contest! All you need to do is submit an entry by signing in (you must be a registered visitor).
