Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandson who has a heart for volunteering and making a difference, there are several gift ideas that can encourage and support his passion:

1. Donation in His Name: Consider making a donation to a cause close to his heart in his name. This not only shows your support for his passion but also allows him to see the impact of his volunteering firsthand.

2. Volunteer Trip: Look for organizations that offer voluntourism opportunities. These trips combine travel with volunteer work, allowing him to explore new places and make a difference in a community at the same time.

3. Books on Activism and Social Change: Inspire your grandson with books that highlight the stories and achievements of individuals who have made a significant impact through their activism. Some recommendations include "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer, or "Start Something That Matters" by Blake Mycoskie.

4. Personalized Volunteer Journal: Get your grandson a journal where he can document his volunteering experiences, reflect on his impact, and set goals for future projects. You can even personalize it with his name or a meaningful quote.

5. Volunteer Toolkit: Put together a toolkit with essential items he might need for his volunteering work. It could include items like work gloves, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, a first aid kit, and a durable backpack to carry his supplies.

6. Subscription to a Magazine or Newsletter: Gift him a subscription to a magazine or newsletter focused on social issues and activism. This will help him stay informed, gain new insights, and connect with like-minded individuals.

7. Growth and Leadership Training: Look for workshops, seminars, or online courses that focus on personal development, leadership, and social activism. Gift him the opportunity to enhance his skills and broaden his knowledge in areas that align with his interests.

8. Mentorship or Networking Opportunities: Connect your grandson with someone who is already making a difference in the field he is interested in. This could be through a mentorship program or by introducing him to influential individuals who share his passion. The opportunity to learn from these experienced individuals can be incredibly valuable, providing guidance and inspiration.

Remember, the most important thing is to let your grandson know that you support his passion for volunteering and making a difference. The gifts listed above are meant to enhance his experience and provide further avenues for growth.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
