Nov 17, 2020 By Points of Light

Music can make any task into a party. This year, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Family Volunteer Day, we thought while we can’t be together, we can share the joy in giving back by sharing some great music! In honor of this major milestone, we asked the Points of Light Youth Council to handpick their favorite songs to listen to with their families while doing their service projects.

Here are some of the songs they’ll be listening to on Family Volunteer Day. What else would you add?

  • Be A Light -Thomas Rhett

  • This Mountain – Faozia
  • HandClap – Fitz and the Tantrums
  • Happy – Pharrell Williams
  • Can’t Stop the Feeling! – Justin Timberlake
  • Better When I’m Dancin’ – Meghan Trainor
  • Happy Anywhere – Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani
  • I Don’t Need Anything But You – Jaime Foxx, Quvenzhane Wallis
  • Pompeii – Bastille

Millions of families act on their power to do good every day, using their hearts, hands and minds to help strengthen communities and solve persistent problems. We recognize their stories, and lift them up to inspire others to make a difference. If you know of a family that is making a difference in their community, nominate them for a Daily Point of Light Award. Each day, an extraordinary volunteer or family is recognized for their service work. Nominate a family today!
