We recently had our Q1 Volunteer Week - a week in which every Worth Search employee commits a couple of hours to help out a local organization. This time is very fulfilling, we love coming back to work and sharing volunteering stories (and pictures)! Lindsey Markel shared a bit about her recent experience, “I volunteered with Heal the Bay for their Nothin' But Sand March 2024 Beach Cleanup at Toes Beach in Playa del Rey, CA. I filled up a 5 gallon bucket with various types of trash (microplastics, water bottle caps, cigarette butts, chip bags, straws, etc.) in less than 30 minutes which was pretty shocking. This is my local beach that I spend a ton of time at during the summer so it felt even more rewarding contributing to its clean up. This was my second time volunteering with Heal the Bay and certainly not the last!”

February wraps up, feeling like a year's end in just two months! How's your 2024 so far? Any lessons shaping your path ahead? This month brought valuable experiences: 1. Volunteering at a FairPrice outlet during CNY work highlighted the importance of every cent. What seems small to some is substantial to others. 2. Respect is earned. CNY volunteering witnessed customers handing food to our frontliners, showing that kindness matters more than material things. 3. At a community event, the majority assumed one choice was wisest, but a thoughtful minority's alternative proved best—a reminder to be mindful of choices. March awaits with these insights. In the words of Winston Churchill, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." 🚀 #FebruaryReflections #LifeLessons #WisdomThursday #GrowthMindset

Happy 4th! Celebrating the Fourth of July responsibly can make a significant positive impact on both the environment and the community. Instead of buying polluting firecrackers, consider these alternatives: 🇺🇸 Donate to Food Banks: Buy a bag of food for your local food bank or shelter. This not only helps those in need but also fosters a sense of community. 🇺🇸 Eco-Friendly Decorations: Use reusable or biodegradable decorations for your celebration. This reduces waste and is better for the environment. 🇺🇸 Community Clean-Up: Organize or participate in a community clean-up event. It’s a great way to give back and ensure that public spaces remain clean and enjoyable for everyone. 🇺🇸 Plant a Tree: Planting trees is a wonderful way to contribute to the environment. It’s a long-lasting tribute to Independence Day that benefits future generations. 🇺🇸 Buy food for animal shelters: Even a small bag of food goes a long way in helping our furry pals. 🇺🇸 Light Sparklers: If you still want some traditional fun, opt for sparklers. They are less polluting than large fireworks and can be enjoyed safely. By choosing these alternatives, you can celebrate the Fourth of July in a way that respects both the environment and your community. Thank you 🙏🏼♥️🇺🇸

Thank you, Camp Bonaventure, for letting us be a part of your incredible journey! #ExecutiveLeadership #CEOInsights #CLevelLeadership #BusinessStrategy #LeadershipDevelopment #DigitalTransformation #CXOCommunity #IndustryInsights #EnterpriseSolutions #ExecutiveBriefing #LeadershipVision #CorporateInnovation #CXOLeaders #BusinessPerformance #StrategicPartnerships

Honoring Selflessness: Beyond Company Volunteer Days Today, on Pat Tillman's death anniversary, his legacy of selfless service resonates deeply. While company volunteer days are fantastic - fostering team spirit and giving back - true selflessness extends beyond those designated hours. Imagine the impact if we all carried that spirit into our communities every day. There's an elderly neighbor who could use help with groceries. A local animal shelter overflowing with animals longing for a walk. Maybe a park cleanup neglected after a long winter. These are the countless opportunities where your time can make a world of difference. Selflessness isn't about grand gestures. It's about looking around and identifying a need you can fulfill, big or small. It's about lending a hand without expecting anything in return. Pat Tillman walked away from a lucrative NFL career to serve his country. His sacrifice reminds us that true fulfillment often comes from putting others first. So, today, and every day, let's honor his legacy by: Seeking out volunteer opportunities in our communities: Find a cause that resonates with you and donate your time. Looking for everyday ways to help: Offer to help a struggling colleague, hold the door for someone with their hands full, or simply offer a kind word to someone who seems down. Remember, even the smallest acts of selflessness can have a ripple effect, creating a more connected and compassionate community. Let's strive to be the change we want to see, one selfless act at a time.

TOMORROW MORNING (SATURDAY APRIL 20TH) at 10:30 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Albuquerque will be having our next Community Clean-Up (ABQ)! For this Community Clean-Up our volunteers will meet up at, and clean the neighborhood around Mesa Verde Community Center located at 7900 Marquette NE Albuquerque NM 87108 NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. Volunteering as a means to help conserve and protect the environment has a lot of upsides. Of course, the first is that you’ll be taking care of our planet, and it badly needs a little love given the myriad ways in which we’ve become adept at destroying it. But beyond that, volunteering for a cause you care about is a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends, and pull yourself out of the blues that sometimes accompany caring a lot about something important – especially if you feel alone in your endeavors. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. Join us in keeping your community clean! For more information: https://lnkd.in/g2ByASKE #TeamWhoIAm_Albuquerque

Teamwork makes the dream work! It’s amazing how bringing in the right person at the right time can drive immediate and broad positive impact on an organization (and our community). 🙌🏻 Sarah Golman In talking with a community stakeholder this week, he shared his goal of creating lifelong employment opportunities for A+ talent in the Dallas Jewish nonprofit community. Nonprofit work is rooted in the “soft stuff” like heart, mission alignment, and compassion. Taking this role after a 15 year career in financial services, I thought I was already prepared for the “tough stuff” but I have never worked with a team so open to big change, focused on driving positive results for our stakeholders, and relentless about collaborating across the community to bring deep impact and support for those who need it most. Yes, it takes a big heart to bring your A+ game to this sector - but it requires grit, intellect, and determination, too. To attract and retain top talent, it demands investment. If you’re a donor or a board member of a nonprofit organization, consider endowing resources to fund the costliest roles in the agency you love. Similar to endowing a chair at a university, this creates operational flexibility and ensures that the organization can attract A+ talent no matter what’s going on in the market and environment around you. To my fellow nonprofit sector friends: how are you attracting and retaining A+ talent?? ⤵️
COO APPRECIATION POST: Not even 90 days into her role, Sarah Golman has hit the ground running! When she’s not knee deep in negotiations with our construction project partners (we’re moving in March!), she’s building out processes and formalizing procedures, planning team building events (we are so excited about Gardenuity) and making sure our trustees, donors, and nonprofit agency partners are maximizing their impact on our community (she wrote our first ever impact report, and has been a critical partner in numerous new programs). On top of all that, she’s a super mom, community volunteer, and wife to Brett Golman. Hats off to Sarah!! We 💙 you!
