#Volunteering is a rewarding and meaningful way to contribute to your #community, support a cause, and make a difference.

Here are some tips and #strategies to help you build a culture of giving and encourage more people to volunteer. https://lnkd.in/gY8QKSZM

Reflecting on Dr. King's profound inquiry, "What are you doing for others?", we recognize the power of volunteering. It brings together individuals from diverse walks of life, fostering more resilient, fair and inclusive communities. How are you contributing to the betterment of society this year? #MLKDay2023 #Volunteering #Unity #SocialImpact

As we close out National Volunteer Week, we are thanking all our volunteers for the generous support they give in time and talent. This work is ongoing, and that’s OK, but the work is made lighter by the many hands that contribute to building strong, respectful, and accepting communities. Take Jarred for example. After the volunteer program relaunch in 2022, Jarred was one of Boyle Street's first volunteers. He was integral in helping us roll out a new volunteer program that was sustainable and effective for our Community Members. Because of his commitment to our community, our folks really trust him and see him as an ally. He has put in the work and the time to understand and engage with vulnerable and marginalized folks to further combat the stigma that our community faces. As Jarred said: “Being a part of the Boyle Street community has given me many beautiful memories and relationships. In volunteering, staff and community members welcome you into their lives and empower you to make the world a more understanding, connected, and dignifying place -- they help you be the change you want to see.” If you’re looking to volunteer for a special occasion or on a regular basis, consider applying for a volunteer position – applications are already open: https://lnkd.in/gytHMNS3 #NationalVolunteerWeek #NVW2024 #EveryMomentMatters #BoyleStreetCommunity #YEGCommunity #YEGPhilanthropy #EndHomelessness #Volunteer #Volunteerism #VolunteeringMatters #CommunityService #VolunteerCanada #VolunteerOpportunity #CommunitySupport #MakeADifference #SupportLocal #VolunteerAppreciation #YEGCharity #YEGNonprofit

Offering employees volunteer opportunities aligns their personal growth with professional development and fosters a culture of community involvement. Michael Timmes of #Insperity suggests positioning it as an employee benefit. For example, you could offer workers a certain number of hours toward paid volunteer time to encourage philanthropic activities.

What did we love about Kuttan or Manjummel Boys? They volunteered to rescue their friend (Subash), who fell into a cave, even when the trained professionals were doubtful. They may have volunteered even if it wasn't their friend. What happens when you volunteer to help those in need? You are seen as a light from God. Just like how Subash saw Kuttan, when Kuttan entered the cave to save him. Though Manjummel Boys talked more about true friendship, what we saw in it was the boys’ selflessness. We need more films like these! You want to help those in need but need to know how?
