Connecticut families have holiday volunteering opportunities, where they can brighten the holidays for others. Connecticut kids have a lot of love to give, but finding the right place for them to show it can sometimes be challenging. The holiday season is a great time to give to the community and teach kids priceless life lessons. Get them involved at every stage (from shopping to delivering) so that they can get the most out of it.
Of course, don't forget to check local activities in your town for other opportunities! Local charities are often most flexible in offering space to young volunteers.

It's the season for fall day trips from Connecticut! One of the best things about living here is that you can venture to almost all parts of New England from our tiny state. We are centrally located for a jaunt to the beach or a rip to the city. An autumn day-trip with your clan should start early and end when the kids start to run out of steam, so find one that fits your family's style.

Coding classes are a great extracurricular activity for kids. Growing up in an increasingly tech-driven world means learning to code is an invaluable life skill. But kids who code don't really look at it that way—they just think it's lots of fun to design video games, create websites, and make robots move. That's exactly what these coding classes for kids in NYC teach. We've rounded up a selection of coding classes for kids ranging from coding summer camps to after-school coding classes and even some coding classes in NYC that kids can take from the comfort of their homes.
You can find more coding classes for kids and even book a class online in our directory of classes and listings. Check our New York City Classes for Kids Guide for more kids’ activities and classes for kids of all ages and interests. You can also find free coding for kids websites and apps.
