Have you ever wondered how to broaden your children’s horizons and help them develop a desire to contribute to the larger world?
Saren’s family just returned from a two-and-a-half-week trip to Europe, where they had some incredible experiences and participated in meaningful service along the way.
And whether or not a big trip is in your future, this podcast offers solid ideas for how all of us can discover new ways to create a family culture that will help us to “broaden and contribute.”

Love this! I have wanted to do something similar, but never knew where to start. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing these website links! We’ve always planned on incorporating service into our family travel, but using these organizations would make it so much easier than trying to put everything together on our own. I am beyond excited to participate!
