Over years since co-founding Path Youth Organisation, I have learnt alot that about leadership, especially as a young person leading fellow young people. As a young person leading a team of young people, I've learnt it's important to understand that leadership is not about age, but rather about the ability to inspire and motivate others. Being a young leader can be challenging, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. One of the most important things that I've always kept in mind when leading this team of young people is to lead by example. This means being a role model for your team, setting a positive tone, and demonstrating the behaviors and values that you expect from your team members. Another key aspect of leading a team of young people that I've gained is to be a good listener. Young people have unique perspectives and ideas, and it's important to create an environment where they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions. By listening to my team members, I gain valuable insights and ideas that can help you make better decisions and achieve your goals. Finally, it's important to be flexible and adaptable as a young leader. Young people are often full of energy and creativity, and they may have different ways of approaching problems or tasks. By being open to new ideas and approaches, I create a more dynamic and innovative team that is better equipped to tackle challenges and achieve success. I am happy to and glad to be leading Path Youth Organisation.

Have you ever considered what it’s like to face the relentless Arizona sun without access to clean water? In Phoenix, dehydration isn't just a discomfort; it's a life-threatening issue, especially for our homeless population. Temperatures often soar above 100°F, and without adequate hydration, the risk of severe health complications skyrockets. It’s a silent crisis that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. We often take for granted the simple act of turning on a tap. For some, it’s a luxury they can’t afford. By raising awareness and taking action, we can help ensure that everyone has access to this basic necessity. The Sullivan employees have donated to bring this support to our community. Share your thoughts, experiences, or suggestions in the comments below. Your input could inspire others to take action. hashtag#CommunitySupport hashtag#Homelessness hashtag#WaterIsLife

Did you know that there are more than 400,000 children in the U.S. foster system? This tragic fact speaks to the lacking number of foster and adoptive parents across the U.S., but you can help. By educating yourself on foster care matters, becoming a foster parent, or donating to nonprofit foster organizations you can help these children find forever homes. #DidYouKnow #FosterFactTuesday #FosterFacts #FosterCare #FosterChildren #AdoptiveChildren #KinshipPlacements #GroupHomes #FosterFamilies #FosterChildrenNeedYou #BecomeaFosterParent #Donate #NonProfit #Charity #QFCO #TaxDeductions #SpreadingThreadsClothingBank #FosteringDignityinSouthernArizonasFosterChildren #Tucson #SouthernArizona

Success as a nonprofit is all about community partnership! We were provided the opportunity for a donation of 20+ suitcases (and a full tub of toiletries); which, is not our exact "lane" when working with foster youth; so, we brought them to the amazing OCJ Kids for foster youth aging out of group homes. OCJ Kids fills the suitcases up with all kinds of necessity items that youth need as they transition from foster care and journey into adulthood. #fosteringheroes #fosteringheroesfoundation #partnership #partners #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitorganization #nonprofits #fostercare #fostercareawareness #fosteryouth #fosterchildren #fostering #nonprofitsuccess #nonprofit #nonprofitorganizations #nonprofitwork #nonprofitgrowth #nonprofitimpact #givingback #communitypartners #communitypartnership #communitypartnerships

Why is it important for our Orientation and Mobility Practitioners to go out into communities? To Reach the Unreachable: In many communities, persons with visual impairments who cannot make use of guide dogs are often isolated and unaware of the support services available to them. The presence of our practitioners is crucial for finding and helping these members of our communities. You can help change a life by donating towards an assistive device such as the white cane here: https://ow.ly/xgMm50Q2V1C #assistivedevices#orientationandmobility#whitecane#donate

How can you provide a sense of safety for foster youth in your care? One of the most important roles that you will play as a foster parent is to ensure that the youth in your care truly feel like they are welcomed and are in a safe environment. It can be unsettling and jarring to move to a new place, and for our youth, this type of change might also be triggering or upsetting. That is why it is so vital to stick to routines, have a clear and open line of communication, and always keep things consistent whenever possible. However, should you ever need to implement a change, try to give the youth a heads-up. It's all about building trust and ensuring they know they're valued and understood.

As the year draws to a close, it's common for organizations and institutions to celebrate with lavish parties, inviting outside partners and other stakeholders. But often, you find yourself attending multiple events with the same circle of people. Rarely anyone has 'fun' in these events. What if we could transform this 'tradition' into something more impactful? Let's envision a change: Host jointly meaningful, symbolic events to bring everyone together, and allocate the rest of the budget to causes that make a real difference in lives. For example, support shelters for orphaned and abandoned children, provide aid to elderly care homes, or provide scholarships for underprivileged children. By shifting the focus from multiple lavish parties to one purposeful gathering and charitable giving, you’re not just celebrating the year's end - you're opening a chapter of hope and assistance for those who need it most. 💖 #CelebrateWithPurpose

The last time that I participated in a Flag Day was likely in my secondary school days. Last Saturday, I volunteered for Cheng Hong Welfare Service Society Flag Day. Below are my observations - Parents, regardless of their gender, are often more inclined to be generous as they aim to set a good example for their children and promote positive behaviour. - Females are more willing to donate than Males. - The majority of those who donated are elderly, and seldom do I see younger folks coming to me. - Many donated $2 notes, some even $10 notes. Those giving coins, they typically give multiple coins. I deployed a mixture of waiting and identifying who could be more willing and asked, "Would you want to donate?". Most of the time, they will stop and donate when they are being triggered. While it seems easy, this job is not easy for those who place ego and pride before self. When kids donate to me, I kneel to their level to allow them to drop their notes or coins. I need to ask for donations and face rejections. I have also seen people who point their noses at me, possibly seeing this as a degrading task. Fortunately, these are those minorities, and most people are kind. When you encounter the tin bearers who collect donations, please be kind to them. It is a challenging task, please donate if you can and offer words of encouragement to keep them motivated. #sgsunnyday #volunteering #chwss
