It's Christmas! Well almost. For many of us, we're gearing down in the lead-up to the big day. But for many of our volunteers, especially those involved in local churches, they'll be hitting peak business for the year. If you know or manage a volunteer, here are three ways you could encourage them in this busy time: 1. Send them a Christmas Card signed by the team/office/yourself 2. Take an interest in their Christmas causes. Where are they giving their time, and *why*? 3. Ask about their Christmas plans. Who are they seeing? How will they celebrate the season? Reward and recognition don't always need to be big. Each of these suggestions is small and simple, but that's OK. Because each one communicates that you're thinking of them, that you care about them, and you're interested in what matters to them. And with volunteer recognition, much like Christmas gifts, it's the thought that counts. 🎅 #volunteers #volunteering #christmas

Did you know there are seven different styles of volunteering? Here's a taste of how you can get involved: 1. Microvolunteers – giving a few hours for a task like an food drive or an annual event 2. Regular volunteers – showing up for a regular shift so you can schedule it around other commitments 3. Sports volunteers – offering your expertise as a coach, trainer, tournament coordinator, etc. during a season 4. Student volunteers – fulfilling 40 hours of mandated time to graduate high school or a post-secondary student seeking future job-related experience 5. Leadership volunteers – serving on a committee or a board to make decisions to shape an organization 6. Project-related volunteers – contributing time and talent to get an event or construction project off the ground then moving onto the next challenge 7. Remote volunteers – connecting with others via phone or video without leaving your home or office Within each of these roles, you can find a great deal of variety so you never get bored. In short, it takes every kind of volunteer in Peterborough for organizations to function well, so choose one that works for you.

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?

O poder de brincar. Por que ao longo da vida vamos perdendo esse poder? The power of play. Why do we lose this power throughout our lives? #ThePowerofPlay #SocialResponsibility #accessibility #design #creativity #childhood #adulthood #userexperience #servicedesign #userresearch #LocalCommunities
