momaha logoThe Omaha World-Herald’s Momaha, “where Omaha moms connect,” published a wonderful write-up on the Top 10 list that Wear the Cape issued today about the importance of encouraging your kids to volunteer. Reporter Josie Loza opens the article, “10 reasons to encourage your child to volunteer,” with some brief background on Wear the Cape and the kidkind foundation. From the piece:

Wear the Cape is a brand with a mission to empower kids to be heroes.

In fact, its KidKind Foundation was built on the hope that it could teach children to have empathy, to be kind and to restore good character.

All great traits you’d find in a superhero, right?

Josie then goes on to share:

It’s a cool initiative that released a Top 10 list why parents should encourage their kids to volunteer. All research-based reasons that Dr. Phillip Brown, a senior consultant at the National School Climate Center, studied in character education.
