Did you know that almost 75% of volunteers contribute their time to help others? We think that's a pretty special statistic from Volunteering Australia (VA). It's National Volunteer Week, and this year's theme is 'Something for Everyone.' This week is a reminder to celebrate the diverse passions and talents that everyone brings to volunteering. At Partners in Progress, we believe in the power of inclusivity and the unique contributions each individual can make. Whether your passion lies in environmental causes, community outreach, education, or beyond, there’s a place for you in the world of volunteering. Our volunteers are key to advancing SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and 4 (Quality Education), driving meaningful change in our communities. We come together during National Volunteer Week to showcase the vast spectrum of possibilities and the transformative impact we can achieve when everyone finds their place. Thank you to everyone who has contributed not only to our projects, but beyond. #NVW2024 #SomethingForEveryone #PartnersInProgress #Volunteering #SDG3 #SDG4

🌟 Join me in fostering inclusivity! 🌟 At Society for the Blind, they are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. With guidance from the Michigan State University Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities, the Society for the Blind team has compiled some simple tips to help sighted individuals interact comfortably with those who are blind. 1. Treat me as you would anyone else. I'm just an ordinary person who happens to be blind. 2. Speak to me directly, not through someone else. And please, no need to raise your voice. 3. Let me decide if I need assistance with mobility. Don't grab my arm; let me take yours if needed. 4. Introduce yourself when entering a room and include me in conversations. I want to know who's around. 5. Be mindful of hazards like partially opened doors, and give me a heads up. 6. If you need to step away from our conversation, excuse yourself verbally. I appreciate the courtesy. 7. I'm capable of managing on my own, but I'll ask for help if needed. 8. Feel free to use words like "see" around me. I use them too. 9. Remember, blindness is just one aspect of who I am. I have many other interests. 10. When we interact, maintain normal conversation to avoid collisions in common areas. 11. If you're speaking to me, look my way. I'm aware of your eye contact. 12. See me as a person first, not just a blind individual. Let's promote understanding and inclusivity together. Remember, in all fifty states, the law mandates drivers to yield to white canes and guide dogs. Let's continue building a world where everyone can navigate with confidence and respect. #InclusionMatters #AccessibilityAwareness #togetherwegotthis For more information check out the Society for the Blind Website: https://lnkd.in/g9uYbDsk
