Spend twenty minutes helping at home by tidying a shared space, watering a plant, or sorting recycling.
About 150 volunteers in Arvada gave 450 hours to local groups, including a children's pantry. Twenty minutes of help at home is a free start, and it does not need a sign-up.
Three easy ways
At home
Choose one job a grown-up lists, such as watering a plant or sorting recycling, and finish it.
In the neighborhood
With a grown-up you live with, pick up litter in your own yard or on your own block, using gloves that the grown-up provides. Stay together.
Printable tracker
Check a box each day you try the challenge. A class can write its total in the tally box.
