Daily vlogs transcend trends, serving as tools for storytelling and connection. Recently, a participant from our MDA Overseas Volunteers Program put this into practice allowing us to get a glimpse of what the program is really like. With over 26,000 volunteers, MDA epitomizes service and compassion, making daily vlogs a profound means to amplify awareness. Through these videos, volunteers provide firsthand glimpses into their impactful work, inspiring others to join the cause. Volunteering with MDA overseas isn't just about acquiring skills; it's about immersing oneself in a rich tapestry of experiences and forging lifelong connections. #MDA #Volunteering #DailyVlogs 🌍❤️

“Do you have a case study?” This is probably the question I have heard most in my career. So I really want to SHOUT here is a CASE STUDY 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Paula Blomster and the team at Finland’s largest congress centre and EAIE: European Association for International Education realised they could implement ISO20121 within their event so they took action and made it happen 💪 Warning: if you are ready to take action this case study will empower you but if you aren’t ready to take action you will read this and want a different case study that matches your circumstances more 😉 #eventprofs #sustainability #eventscreatechange

This week, I'm excited to be volunteering for #OpMo as a pit crew member for #CrowdstrikeRacing by #RileyTechnologiesLLC. It's an incredible opportunity to travel and learn while also giving back. Volunteering has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me, both personally and professionally. It's helped me develop resilience and better communication skills, especially when dealing with anxiety. I'm curious, how does your team or organization build resilience while giving back?

📚 Empowering Education Through Volunteering: The Impact of Flashcard-Making 📚 I believe that small efforts can create significant change! One of our recent volunteering activities involved creating flashcards for students, and the impact has been nothing short of amazing. Why Flashcard-Making? Flashcards are more than just study aids; they are tools that enhance learning and retention ability by breaking down complex topics into bite-sized pieces, flashcards help students understand and remember key concepts more effectively. They are a definate support for under-resourced schools as many schools lack access to quality educational materials and with this one simple step volunteers are helping bridge that gap by creating valuable learning resources. Flashcards do make learning interactive and fun. This simple yet powerful activity demonstrates how volunteering can make a tangible difference in the lives of students. Together, let’s continue to make a difference, small or big - One flashcard at a time! 🌟 #Volunteering #EducationForAll #CommunityImpact #MakeADifference #Flashcards #InclusiveEducation #GivingBack

As an Executive Director of a nonprofit, recruiting and engaging volunteers is part of the daily work. But there's something transformative about stepping into a volunteer role myself as an advisory board member for the school district. It reminds me that no matter our titles or responsibilities, giving our time connects us to the heart of the mission. Volunteering grounds me in the values I champion, offering a fresh perspective on the challenges we face and the people we serve. It’s more than just asking others to join in—it’s about actively living out what we believe in. By rolling up our sleeves, we lead by example and show that our commitment goes beyond the boardroom.
