Make 2013 the year to make a difference in a child’s life

8:47 am by Cristy Clavijo-Kish

As adults and parents, when we consider how to make an impact on a child’s life we’re typically either thinking of our own children or close family members and friends. I know I do. But it’s not only those that are closest to us that matter- we all have to collectively support our youth as they are our adult society in just a few years. Have you started a 2013 resolutions list yet? I don’t want to create a list. This year I simply want to create five ‘achievable’ goals and get them DONE. How about volunteering? If it’s not among your goals then it should be. If you’re a Los Tween’s reader- then kids matter to you. All kids should matter to us in some way and we can make a difference if we commit to doing so.
Latino and multicultural communities in general need our help. As a community we know all too well the variety of challenges Latino youth are facing. How about becoming a ‘Big’ volunteer in 2013? Latino Bigs share a common culture with Latino Littles who are in need of a little attention from a caring mentor.
The beauty of Big Brothers Big Sisters volunteers is that they come from all walks of life. They don’t need special training or a degree to positively influence a child. Everyone has the ability to make a big impact in a child’s life.
Check out this fun video of ‘matches’- a Big helping a little in simple but profound ways:

During this special time of year take the time to think how can I impact a child’s life in 2013? Be sure to visit www.latinobigs.org or www.bigbrothersbigsisters.org for more information about volunteering as a ‘Big.’ And if the commitment is just not for you right now, be sure and help the organization achieve it’s goals by donating at least $5 or more. Have fun seeing the great Bigs/Littles stories on Facebook and donate today. I know that ‘juntos podemos’ – together we can help raise kids who stay in school, are much more confident and who focus on education and a positive life outlook.
Happy & Health 2013 to all!

As a mother of twin tweens in 2011 and an active Girl Scout Troop leader, Cristy realized there was a need to develop bilingual digital content and foster a community facing the challenges of raising kids after first grade. That year she founded and remains co-Publisher of Los Tweens & Teens, to support multicultural parents and mentors with content related to raising Gen Z- tweens & teens ages 7-18. Through the Los Tweens & Teens LIVE events such as Teens & Me – the growing team aims to provide our community with essential resources from chats with therapists to battle anxiety and bullying, to understanding social media and technology.

I conceived the idea for Los Tweens and Teens in the midst of raising identical twin daughters as they reached first grade. My familia always is at the center of my life.
