Jake and Max are twin (双胞胎) brothers. They show love for volunteering. Their family has always done community services (社区服务). When they were young, they gave up gifts at their birthday parties. Instead, they hoped people to give money to a charity (慈善机构). Jake and Max help two charities. They had some nice ways to help their community, such as donating clothes and books.
When they were seven, Jake and Max were interested in volunteering with a friend at the local homeless shelter to help to cook. Unluckily, they were refused (拒绝) because they were too young. They had to think of another way to help other kids who were also facing a similar problem: wanting to help but being refused because of their age.
“So, they set up a project called Kids That Do Good to hope people to join the community and help others.” The small project has grown into a large website. It brings thousands of interested visitors each year.
Jake and Max are busy with school and after-class activities and other community services. Kids That Do Good hopes kids to build their own volunteering events.
