The spirit of giving back isn’t automatic—it’s taught through example. When you volunteer, you show your child what it means to invest in a community. As J. Bishop of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School in Washington, D.C., explains:

"I feel very strongly that the inclination to volunteer and give back is not innate—it has to be learned, and it has to be learned from someone close to you. That’s why your kids need to see you paying it forward."

At Episcopal School of Nashville, we believe volunteering plants the seeds of generosity, leadership, and service in the next generation.
