Did you know that humans have an innate need to improve their communities? It's called "prosocial behavior," and it’s hardwired into our brains. Studies show that acts of kindness and community involvement not only benefit society but also boost our own happiness and well-being. Interestingly, neighborhoods with higher levels of volunteerism report stronger social cohesion and lower crime rates. It's proof that our instinct to help isn't just beneficial for others but also for creating safer, happier communities.

The Dsquared Homes for the Homeless GAP program assisted our 100th client with rent today! I'm extremely proud of this initiative, which came about from my son being denied temporary housing over a $40 income shortage I wasn't allowed to cover. He lived in Kiwanis Park for one year, and though I fought hard, he never received help. My motto is, "Don't TALK about it, BE about it' because it's more normal to complain about what someone else ISN'T doing (especially the government) than it is to look at ourselves and figure out how WE can make a difference. I founded this nonprofit to assist those experiencing a temporary setback with rent, and it's exactly what we've done without help from the government. I don't believe in excuses, and complaining about what the government wasn't doing, certainly wasn't helping my son when he lived in the park. Dsquared Homes for the Homeless is recruiting an Administrative Assistant (we always need a Fundraising Director) whose role will include representing Dsquared in Zoom meetings with our community partners. My preference for the Admin Position is someone who is retired or only works part-time because they will have the flexibility required for this role. Although we do not have monthly meetings (most of us work while volunteering with Dsquared), we are known well enough that businesses reach out to support our mission through their organizations regularly. This volunteer MUST be a self-starter but does NOT need to live in Arizona as the entire role is supporting us with Admin duties, and representing us on Zoom calls. Who do you know that wants to make an immediate impact in the community, and has a passion for underserved populations? Learn more about us at Dsquared4homeless.org and email your resume to Admin@dsquared4homeless.org. #mentalhealthawareness #homelessnessawareness #Dsquared4homeless #Nonprofit

It can be challenging to give back to a world that feels like it's done you wrong, I know. But believe me when I say: it's a powerful pathway for growth. Try organizing or participating in projects that address local needs—food drives, neighborhood cleanups, or volunteering at shelters. Community service can build you up as well as others! How will you uplift your community? #RBMitchell #community #growth #personalgrowth

Today, the Executive Club team dedicated their time to the Ace of Clubs homeless shelter, embodying the spirit of community and compassion. It's moments like these that remind us of the collective power we hold. Each helping hand, each shared meal, and every moment spent listening to those with lived experiences of homelessness, brings us closer to understanding and action. We believe that if more individuals and organisations took a moment to step into the world of volunteering, the impact on homelessness could be profound. It's not just about one day or one act of service; it's about fostering a continuous commitment to support the most vulnerable in our society. Our aim at the Executive Club goes beyond business success; it's about building a legacy of giving back, creating ripples of change that extend far beyond our immediate circle. Let's use our networks not just for growth, but for goodwill. We're proud of the work done today and inspired to keep this momentum going. Together, we can be the keystones of change in our community. #ExecutiveClubCares #CommunityService #SocialImpact #Volunteering #HomelessnessAwareness #GiveBack
