We all strive to instill generosity and perspective in our children, but with the busy, mismatched schedules of daily life, family volunteer outings are often an impossibility. But what about devoting a few hours of your family vacation to giving back? Your children will get to experience something new and important with you at their side - and who knows, it may be the highlight of the whole trip!

MiniTime, a wonderful Huffington Post Travel contributor, assembled six places across the country that take volunteers of all ages for anywhere from a couple hours to a day; from caring for animals to maintaining trails to scooping ice cream for children suffering from life-threatening services, there's something for every family. Click through to get inspired, and please share if you know of other places for families to volunteer on vacation.
