If you are reading this my guess is that you are likely a driven career person who leads a full life. Volunteering probably seems like the last thing you can take on. I get it. But let me tell you why volunteering is the most selfish thing you can do in the least selfless way. Since joining AFP Greater Vancouver Chapter (Association of Fundraising Professionals) as VP of Community Engagement & Co-Chair of National Philanthropy Day, I have expanded my network, made connections that are more like friendships than work relationships, taken advantage of professional development courses, challenged my skillset (managing volunteers is much different than managing staff), grown as a leader all while making real impact. I feel like I am the one benefitting the most in this equation. It doesn’t matter how you give back. Only have time to bake cookies for the school’s fundraiser – amazing! (I also endorse buying them if that’s where you are at in life). You want to join a board that you have a meaningful connection with – incredible! You are sick of staring at the screen and feel inspired to do something completely different like community gardening – awesome! It truly doesn’t matter what you do, I promise it will give you more back than you can imagine. So, on National Volunteer Week ask yourself what can I do that will fill me up? It’s the best selfish selfless thing we can all do!

Please consider supporting this initiative and help unleash the inner voices of those who are non-speaking or minimally speaking. This population has been grossly under estimated and under served. They are BRILLIANT and deserve to be heard! Your donation = -Scholarships for local Nonspeaking & Minimally Speaking individuals to access alternative communication (i.e., spelling to communicate/letterboards) -Community building for Nonspeaking individuals and their families in NE Ohio -Public education on global Apraxia & helping to shift the inaccurate assumption that non-speaking means non-thinking https://lnkd.in/eztv7nZ5

Break out into song for another organization who just signed up with us. Today, we welcome New Stages. For more than a quarter century, it has been delivering professional theatre in Peterborough. New Stages is a non-profit charitable organization that works with volunteers, from time to time, to deliver contemporary plays to supportive audiences. Volunteers are also needed to assist in fundraising initiatives. Did you know that the arts is one of the sectors that relies on volunteers more so than most others? Here are the main reasons that people sign up help arts groups, according to a 2023 survey (in order of popularity): - Feeling like I am contributing/giving back in my community - Applying and sharing my knowledge and skills - Learning something new - Meeting new people - Something to do with my free time - Socializing with friends - Free admission or tickets to arts events - Completing required volunteer hours for school, university or other programs Find out more about supporting New Stages here ==> https://buff.ly/3HgNsiZ #VolunteersRock #ItTakesaTeam #Volunteers #Volunteering #Volunteerism #VolunteerPeterborough #WelcomeWednesday

Do you teach your children about their rights? Most of us, the lucky ones, remember a brief session in school where children’s rights were brushed through and hardly spoken of again. The reality is most children dont know their rights or have little awareness on where to seek help when those rights are abused. Pendekezo takes this responsibility seriously by having notices around their walls to remind the girls of their rights. They also take time to discuss with them the implications of these rights and how to seek help when they feel at risk. Do you think we do enough to educate our little ones on their rights? #kitechild #changenotcharity #childrensrights #childprotection #childempowerment #nonprofit #childrightsawareness

Giving is so much more than a monetary donation. Giving of time and talents can often be more valuable than money. Volunteering your time, sharing your knowledge, donating goods, offering a listening ear, or simply being there for someone in need can have a tremendous impact on others. Let’s celebrate the many forms of giving that help build stronger, more compassionate communities, and more cohesive teams. How do you give back? Share your experiences and inspire others to find their unique ways to contribute. #GivingBack #Volunteerism #CommunitySupport #KindnessMatters #ActsOfKindness #MakeADifference #SupportCommunity #GiveBack #SpreadLove #CommunityService #ServeOthers #BeTheChange #SupportLocal #RandomActsOfKindness
