A little lighthearted humor today... But seriously. If you run an organization with a substantial budget and are getting featured in prominent media, standing on the red carpet in formalwear, rubbing elbows with philanthropists, and being endorsed and winning awards for your conservation work... Pay the people who are making you famous. (This, from a person who holds two voluntary positions and does a ton of pro bono work -- for orgs that need it). https://lnkd.in/g9mkhFmA #volunteering not #extraction #nonprofits #PayWorkers #equity

Recreational training is one of the most important aspects before conducting developmental activities! . . . . . #ProjectAnubhooti #NGO #ChildEmpowerment #Youth #Volunteering #NgoIndia #InstagramReels #nonprofit #education #donate #volunteer #india #support #children #CollegeStudents

Have you ever volunteered at an orphanage or considered doing so? If so, you're not alone. Many of us, including our team members and colleagues in the sector, have done so with the best intentions. However, it's crucial to acknowledge the harm our good intentions may have caused. That's why we're dedicated to learning from our mistakes and unwavering in our commitment to promoting family-based care. We encourage you to watch this eye-opening video from VICE, which highlights the alarming practices within orphanages and the detrimental impact of voluntourism on the children it aims to help. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/eVv3mSfm At MJF, we advocate for preventing the separation of children from their families and alternative family based care where necessary as a solution. Together, let's raise awareness, challenge harmful practices, and work towards a better future for all children. #Orphanage #Deinstitutionalisation #OrphanMyth #CareReform #familystrengthening  #Voluntourism

Here's a little bit of a different #SafetyTopic -- Water Safety. It's pool, lake, and beach season, and taking a swim is a great way to cool off. But water needs to be respected! This summer, take steps to make sure your loved ones -- especially kids -- are safe in and around the water. In my years with the Y, some of the key things we talked about when it comes to water safety are: 🙋♂️Make sure kids know they need to ask permission before getting in the water. Make it a habit. The child gets permission, and an adult is aware! 👀 While all adults should be paying attention, consider creating shifts with designated "Water Watchers." His or her job is to watch the summer fun like a hawk with no distractions. 📵 Put your phone down! Especially the Water Watcher. 💦 Don't just watch: Get in! Model safe behavior in and around water! 🏊♀️ And finally, the best way to keep kids safe around water is to enroll in swim lessons. The Y (YMCA) invented swim lessons, and there are Ys in communities across the country. Many (Most? All?) provide support for families to participate in programs like swim lessons, even if they are struggling financially. And if you're an adult who can't swim, The Y offers adult swim lessons as well! Will you commit to being a Water Watcher this summer? #watersafety #summertime

💙 💚 💛 ❤️ VCSA volunteering report insights. The voluntary sector is the unsung hero of our local community... Shropshire Council's VCSA (Shropshire Voluntary and Community Sector Assembly) recent report stated that: "VCSA member organisations reported assisting an average of 2,284 people per organisation per year across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, meaning that even if multiple organisations are helping one individual, it is still likely that the majority of residents in the county received some sort of support from a VCSE organisation over the course of the year". It's phenomenal that our voluntary sector organisations are reaching the majority of residents across our large county! Perhaps sometimes going unnoticed. 💜 Our role as Shropshire's Community Foundation is to champion, elevate and support our, sometimes tiny, frontline organisations. Together we can tackle complex issues and achieve an improved quality of life for the people of Shropshire. #shropshire #volunteeting #volunteer #volunteerappreciation #volunteerinfrastructure #shropshire #weareshropshire #telford #thrivingcommunities #strongertogether #philanthropy

It's simple to become mired in our personal lives in a world of nonstop activity and lose sight of the greater community we are a part of. Giving back to society, however, has a really magical quality that not only benefits those around us but also improves our own lives in unexpected ways. Volunteering offers happiness in a way we can't anticipate or experience. Let's give back to the society in our own small way. #physioaidtherapy. #humanity #volunteering #sdg17
