Our 4-H club had a guest speaker in January from Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue. We decided to do a service project for them, going out to their adoption home and cleaning cages and playing with the bunnies. It didn't take long to clean all the cages and give the bunnies a fresh place to hang out. They're cages were kinda smelly, though. Rabbits make a lot of poo! But they are just soooooo cute! How can you resist? Once the work was over, there was plenty of time to play and pet the sweet bunnies.




Volunteering at a rescue group is a great idea for a 4-H group! The littler ones can play with the animals while the older ones help with the more difficult jobs. It works out well for everyone. Something you may not even consider is the encouragement you give to the workers at the facility. Seeing young people involved and willing to help out is a wonderful boost to those who work at rescuing animals. It is a hard job and thankless to boot, and the children enjoying the animals is a welcome sight. Give it a go!
