Gianna Leider is igniting a passion for service in the future leaders of volunteerism, motivating them to contribute to their communities. Whether it's through volunteering or as a part-time summer employee, she's a source of positive light and inspiration for staff and students in JA BizTown and our summer camps. ❤️ 1. What has volunteering and working at JA taught you? "It has taught me how important it is to understand the basics of business and money. It's something that is so overlooked in our education system and should be taught more often." 2. What is one financial concept you think people your age need to understand more? "Budgeting! As a teenager, it's easy to spend money on non-necessities and not save. Going to college is an expensive event in your life and I think it's super important to acknowledge that and start saving early." 3. What are you most looking forward to about college? "Meeting new people who share similar interests but also being able to pursue my career aspirations." 4. What is your favorite JA memory? "Spirit week at Summer Camp!" 5. Anything else you'd like to share? "JA Summer Camp has created so many memories that I'll cherish forever and it is an opportunity you can't pass up." Thank you, Gianna, for being a shining example of a student volunteer! We know you will be a smashing success in all you do! 👏🌟 Visit our website at www.jaorswwa.org for more information about our summer camps. #studentvolunteers #gamechanger #positiveimpact #summercamp

Design, technical, digital & innovative solutions for the built environment with a foundation in forward thinking efficiency.
Within the first few months of working on an MMC for housing the organisation PLACE (Pan-London Accommodation Collaborative Enterprise) held a session to look at how "meanwhile" sites could be used to generate a semi-temporary solution for those in immediate and dire needs of a home. it generated ideas of how using MMC deliverables the opportunity was there to have fast-built, pre-fabricated homes on brownfield or sites that had major developments planned but would be "on-hold" for the next 5 years. Ideas of a compulsory rental order could be applied to any developer that could be deemed to be land banking. Ways in which an MMC stockpile could be allocated and shared across local authorities to rent (at much less costs then the temporary accommodation "solution" of hotels (term used loosely), B&B's or private landlords that councils pay non-returning monies out to) and enable a quality and controlled housing supply. At a point the rental money would have paid the margins, and profits, on the MMC deliverables and the stockpile would be owned by a shared scheme of UK local authorities that could re-use the stock as required. In exploring this idea I touched base with a friend that worked with the homeless to really understand what those in need of "temporary" accommodation really went through (Justlife Foundation) and meeting staff that worked with the homeless day in and day out. The research was eye opening and then I really understood what the real housing crisis was about. Through Justlife Foundation I was introduced to Oasis Community Housing where their CEO David Smith took me to visits sites and the means that they use to help with the homeless on a more eye widening tour. Since that day I try to "do my bit" with some fund raising and the Oasis Community Housing have provided me with the amazing opportunity to run the Great North Run a few times. What an experience and such a welcoming city and people - Hazel Ditchburn MCIOF (Cert) and Joanne Armstrong (MCIOF). I saw this post from the Oasis Community Housing today and thought "what can my kids do to help" so have challenged them to find 4 friends each and undertake a "do as your parents say" day. If they successfully "obey" then at the end of that day they will be rewarded with £10. With all 10 completing the task that will raised the £100. It's not quite the £100 in 100 days but it can help. For all those in my network working for solutions to the housing crisis perhaps you can challenge yourselves, your family and friends to see what they can do to raise £100. I would be grateful to anyone who reads this to re-post in your network. I'll still keep plugging away on the ideas of how we in this industry can make that difference and I am sure one day we will. Till then any small amount of monies raised for charities like the Oasis Community Housing can go a long way to help. Many thanks.
💛 It was great to spend the day chatting with students from Newcastle University at the Newcastle University Students' Union volunteer fair. The passion shown from students towards supporting people experiencing homelessness was incredible. 🖤 Are you a student or young person determined to make a difference? Why not sign up to take on Challenge100?

I recently had the privilege of joining our company’s volunteer initiative at a local food bank where i helped with sorting food items and distributing the packages. The experience was incredibly fulfilling, and it got me thinking about the unique benefits volunteering offers, especially for fresh graduates and immigrants. I think volunteering isn’t just about the feel-good aspect of contributing to the community; it’s a powerful career catalyst as well, Here’s why: Benefits to you: - learning - gain experience - develop skills - grow your network - profile what you know - find opportunities - build community - feel good helping others fresh grads and fellow professionals, immigrants following me here : consider volunteering. It’s an investment in your community and your career. win ..win.. Do you volunteer? Share your experiences and how it has impacted your career. #volunteer

Happy National Nonprofit Day! My first corporate job was at a nonprofit organization. Some of the most life and career changing positions I’ve held have been at nonprofits. I’ve worked for small local ones (yes, I have a former boss who is a nun. Habit and all!). I have also worked for international nonprofits. We get comfortable calling them “organizations” but many people forget nonprofits are actual corporations and subject to many similar, if not the same, federal and state regulations governing the work of corporate bodies in this country. Although they vary from local youth sports clubs to human rights advocacy, their goals are, by law, philanthropic in nature; meaning the goal is not profit but progress. Nonetheless, nonprofits are crucial entities in our communities; conducting important business that can often be a matter of life and death for just one family, or even a major shift in the justice system that impacts all of us . Let go of the image of people walking about in comfy hoodies, tees and shorts, or flip flops, with the founder being a little old cat lady with mailing lists piled in her desk. (Shout out to the fabulous Cat Ladies out there!) To be honest, I’ve worked at nonprofits with stricter dress codes than some for-profits or firms. I know when I was managing one myself, I made it a key part of our brand to always present ourselves professionally, on and off-site Some of the best lessons I’ve learned as a professional took place at nonprofit organizations and I’m proud so say that nonprofit operation and management is one of my areas of expertise. Celebrate National Nonproft Day with me today - whether they’re c(3)’s or c(4)’s nonprofits do help make the world 🌍 go around!
🌍✨ Happy National Nonprofit Day! Today, we celebrate the power of giving back and creating change.

Thank you so much for giving up your time to support young people, Marta! We were fortunate to have you representing HUT Architecture as well as colleagues from ZeroAvia and Piercy&Company teaching students who were super engaged with learning more about #employabilityskills and #careerpathways Showing representation and sharing information is incredibly important to continue improving equity for people from under-represented groups, as in this interesting article that highlights statistics about young people studying architecture from areas of low representation: https://lnkd.in/ezz5mjrQ
This week I had the opportunity of volunteering for Inspire Education Business Partnership, facilitating a 'You're Hired!' careers workshop with Year 10 students at Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy. HUT Architecture have been volunteering for INSPIRE for some years now, and I was excited to take part in a school local to me in Hackney. Along with my fellow volunteers, we spoke with students about job applications, CVs and interviews. It was such a pleasure to work with such interested and engaged young people. Many thanks to Anne-Marie Greenland for organising - would encourage others to look for future volunteering activities on INSPIRE's website: https://lnkd.in/erJtJDyZ

Just thinking out loud… We should always just jump at the opportunity of Volunteering and Interning. Whether we like it or not, these things build us and teach us the power of endurance. To be honest, I have had my own share of unpleasant moments volunteering but instead of tearing me down, I just feel the need to you know aim higher telling myself I won’t treat people badly if they ever find themselves under me. I believe these lessons gives us opportunity to be better no matter what. Fine, you are volunteering right now, working so hard with little or no pay. Your driving force should be that it won’t always be forever, you have the power to continue and train yourself along the line or you just walk. Volunteering is for us, it is personal. You don’t need an opportunity, reach out to that organization, that person, that brand, that company. Business owners, Treat your Volunteers well! P.S. It was a work filled Friday, don’t let the pictire deceive you😭 #volunteering #management #alwaysworking

"How do you get horticultural careers in front of young people?" is probably one of the most frequently asked questions I've heard in the last years. Careers ambassadors are one of our secret superpowers to bring horticulture into educational settings and raise the profile of careers in this fantastic sector. We know personal contacts with professionals are very often where the magic begins on a young person's journey towards a fulfilling job, and over the last few years we at the RHS have reached about 25,000 students this way. We simply could not do this without the many fantastic colleagues who volunteer to go into schools to talk about their job and how they got there, as even the most efficient careers team can only be in one place at a time - so thank you! 🙌 Inspiring the Future are doing stellar work with individual volunteer ambassadors as well as with organisations looking to grow their future workforce. They support onboarding (including safeguarding) and match volunteers to schools, etc, which is of immense value to organisations aiming to increase their outreach but with limited resource. Whether you yourself would like to share your passion for your job and career, or whether you are in a position where you can enable and support your employees to volunteer this way, register for the free webinar on June 6 to find out more (details in post). #volunteering #volunteersweek #givingback #talentpipeline #careers #greencareers #greenjobs #horticulture #landscaping #foodproduction #growyourown #floristry #gardens #plants #plantjobs
Ready to get your volunteering journey off to a great start? This year marks 40 years of Volunteer Week and we’re holding a volunteer introduction session so you can learn just how easy it is to volunteer with us from as little as an hour a year! You’ll discover the huge impact you can have when it comes to raising the ambitions and aspirations of young people across the UK, just by sharing your career story and talking about what you do in your job! Join us for our Inspiring the Future Information Session Thursday 6th June at 12-12:45 https://lnkd.in/d-zfTsgA
