G.I.V.E. for Kids "Booth Information"

Join Us for THE Educational and Fun-Filled
Family Event of the Year!

"Ask Me" Booths

The theme for the 3rd Annual G.I.V.E. for Kids Expo is G.I.V.E. (Get Involved, Volunteer in Education ) for Kids by Building Assets. In an effort to help our children grow up healthy, caring and responsible, Parents' Source will provide a series of FREE booths that will focus on some of the assets which have been identified as the necessary building blocks to achieve this goal. The topics for the "Ask Me. . ." booths are listed below. Experts on each topic will be available during designated times throughout the day of the event to answer any questions, and help parents develop these assets in their own children. Also available will be literature and children's activities designed to reinforce the concepts being presented.
