So, let's chat about all the cool ways kids can spread happiness through volunteering and acts of kindness in this blog post! 🌟 https://lnkd.in/eWievrQ5

"Many homeschoolers have a great amount of flexibility at home, which is one of the beauties of homeschooling, but that flexibility is not always found on a job.  Learning this can be helpful!” – Cindy LaJoy Quote taken from the SPED Homeschool article, Eight Benefits of Volunteering for Your Homeschool #quoteoftheday #homeschoolfreedom #spedhomeschool

That is a very good and fair point.

This is important for a volunteer program to be successful. -Is the program reporting to the right leadership? -Can it contribute to feedback and it be valued? -Is it considered in the changes being determined? -Does the culture promote integrating volunteers as team members? To promote a strong culture of community engagement, demonstrate where you value volunteer participation.

Walk in the Park: Dog Distraction Class It’s a different kind of walk in the park at See Differently’s weekly dog distraction classes for our pups in training. At these sessions, volunteers guide the pups through various exercises designed to help them stay focused (despite lots of tempting distractions like other dogs, toys, and people). Sofie and Bree from the puppy team lead the class with lots of tips and tricks to keep the students on the right track! Teaching our dogs these skills early on is essential for them to become well-trained and reliable companions. We're looking for more volunteers to help raise and train our next generation of See Differently guide or assistance dogs. We have various volunteering opportunities to suit everyone.

Why Story Dogs is Needed Now More Than Ever: The NAPLAN 2024 Wake-Up Call The 2024 NAPLAN results are a wake-up call—over 34,000 Year 3 students need additional support with reading. 📚 This makes Story Dogs more crucial than ever. We’re already helping nearly 3,000 students each week, but with so many children still at risk of falling behind, our mission has never been more urgent. Your support can make a world of difference. Whether it’s through volunteering, sponsoring a dog, or spreading the word, you can help us reach more students and ensure every child has the chance to succeed.

It's wonderful to see the children from Chapter One UK's online reading programme involved in the selection of stories for the platform. And great to see employees from our corporate partner, Sodexo, writing those stories. A brillliant example of co-creation! #cocreation #volunteering #volunteeringopportunities #employeeengagement #employeevolunteering #corporatepartnerships #literacy #readingforpleasure #socialvalue #socialimpact #educationpartnerships #communityengagement #csr #esg
