Book Drive
Organize a book drive to create a library for a nonprofit agency in your area. Local shelters, orphanages, or children's hospitals can be great choices for location. Have the boys ask friends, family members, and neighbors to donate books and magazines to be used in the library. Boys also can ask for small cash donations to purchase things such as bookshelves, magazine subscriptions or decorations for the library. Have the boys set up the library themselves so they can see the end result of their work.
Clean a Park
Work with your local parks and recreation department to have the boys help clean up or restore a park in your area. Boys can take trash bags out and collect litter and other garbage. If the park has things such as picnic tables or fences, the boys can help to refinish or repair those areas so they look new again.
Build Back-To-School Bags
Have the boys create backpacks filled with school essentials for children who might not otherwise be able to afford them. Talk to your local school to find an age group to help, as well as a list of items that particular group will need. Have the boys collect donations for the backpacks from friends, family and neighbors, and then spend a day building the book bags. Donations can include notebooks, pencils, crayons and pens. Cash donations can be use to purchase the book bags or items in short supply.
