Pride month at Covenant House was filled with volunteer opportunities for our awesome corporate partners! From banner painting with QBE Insurance to kit packing with MetLife to bracelet making with Accenture, we had such a great time connecting our supporters and our youth over shared joy and Pride.

Tomorrow will be one of those days that I’ve looked forward to for the past year. When I came to Corning in 2021, I got connected with United Way of the Southern Tier to volunteer in the grandstands at NASCAR weekend at The Glen. The following two years, I drove a golf cart on the shuttle routes for spectators on behalf of the CORNING NEW YORK LIONS CLUB FOUNDATION INC, again through an email to Corning employees. Now I’m moving up, I get to be on dispatch for ADA riders all day tomorrow, which means I’m free to roam anywhere a rider wants to go at Watkins Glen International instead of just a planned shuttle route. I look forward soaking up sunshine, hearing roaring engines, and helping friendly fans. It’s the kind of day where I feel no stress, just enjoy the weightless feeling of being in my element. Exhausting, engaging, fun—it reminded me of carefree times when I was a restaurant waiter and had no responsibilities. If I didn’t have to earn a living, you could find me quite content and feeling fulfilled living every day just like that. This is what volunteering can do for you. It can reconnect you to areas of your personality that don’t get a lot of airtime in your current role. Volunteering should be able to help you live your values. But it doesn’t have to be for the obvious reasons—i.e. supporting a cause that embodies those values. It should always be about connecting with others. But… It can be about you. #values #volunteering #serving #selfmotivation

Veteran Housing Corp says that IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

Today is World Braille Day, and this year’s theme is Empowering Through Inclusion and Diversity. Imagine being able to step into an unfamiliar lift and read the numbers. It may sound simple, but the confidence and independence this can give to a sight-impaired person is huge. Braille was a life-changing creation for inclusion and there are plenty of resources for you to learn more about it here: https://lnkd.in/g33CYysJ. This World Braille Day - why not learn more about Braille, try some fun activities or attempt to crack a Braille riddle! https://lnkd.in/gsXxwvNj

3moProud of what, one might ask? What is it about PRIDE that is so laudable? Is it that PRIDE promotes and celebrates delusion, or that it denies the existence and validity of empirical fact, or maybe it’s a cult that rejects neuroscience, genetics, and evolutionary biology, and replaces them with magical thinking, or possibly it’s because PRIDE downplays the plight of detransitioners and their mutilated souls? Pray tell what it is exactly of which you are so proud?
