📢 ATTN: those looking to hire folks in their 20s!?! "Half of Gen Zers would turn down a job that doesn't align with their beliefs." Companies that commit to volunteering can present a extraordinary pull for alluring new talent. --> Read more in this blog by the #Learn_It_All, Erin George 💙

🤝 Nowadays, it is imperative to give something to get something. You want medicines? Give money. Food? Give money. But, a true volunteer is someone who takes very little—if not nothing—and gives everything. 🌟 Volunteers are not forced to serve but they choose to, because they believe giving their best for a good cause is life's highest cause. 🎉 To celebrate the volunteers of today who work selflessly, ANON Global Foundation organizes ANON volunteer day. 💫 And, remember, It is not about one who takes from this world, but one who gives. #VolunteerAppreciation, #VolunteerRecognition, #VolunteerHeroes, #GiveBack, #CommunityService, #VolunteerSpirit, #MakeADifference, #ServiceToOthers, #ThankYouVolunteers, #Volunteerism, #VolunteerLove, #GratitudeForVolunteers, #SupportVolunteers, #VolunteerImpact, #VolunteerWork, #ChangeMakers, #VolunteeringIsCaring, #SpreadKindness, #VolunteerCommunity, #HandsThatServe

Did you know? 30% of Virginians started volunteering because it was an important part of their spirituality or house of worship. Anna Shenk of For Richmond shares how the Virginia Community Engagement Index (VCEI) can help faith communities mobilize volunteers.

For the last few years, I have had the honor of volunteering with Dallas CASA, an organization that recruits, trains, and supervises community volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in protective care. Volunteering with this organization has not only been eye-opening, but heart-breaking at times. As an advocate for these children, our work involves meeting with kids on a monthly basis, advocating for their interests in court, and addressing any issues they face in school, health, or other areas of their lives. One of the most jarring realizations is that in many cases, there isn’t anyone else beyond us looking out for the kids. There is no backup. The system is overloaded and isn’t designed to deal with the complex problems that arise for these kids. The job of the advocate is to be that person that takes action and does all they can to intervene in the child’s life. This work is a reminder that as each of us observes the problems we have in this world, we can’t simply rely on the system or expect others to step up. It's easy to assume there are already measures in place or that someone else will take care of it. In reality- if we want to see change or make an impact, we have to do it ourselves. When we see issues in our community, we owe it to each other to bear the responsibility of change. We need to recognize that each of us has the power to make a difference.  By getting involved, we can help bridge the gaps and provide innovative solutions or much-needed support where it’s needed most. Whether it's through volunteering, advocacy, or simply being a voice for the voiceless, every action counts. #CommunityImpact #VolunteerWork #DallasCASA #ChildAdvocacy #TakeAction

It's incredible how impactful our team is in their communities!

Did you know this week is National Volunteer Week? Our latest blog post dives into the incredible impact of volunteering for families in need. In Maine, where 42% of households struggle to make ends meet, lending a hand can transform lives and communities. Here's how: - Addressing Immediate Needs: From warm winter clothing to household essentials, volunteers ensure families have what they need to thrive. -Fostering Empowerment and Dignity: By offering support with respect and compassion, volunteers empower individuals and honor their dignity. - Building Social Connections: Volunteering creates bonds within communities, fostering a sense of belonging for all involved. - Promoting Health and Well-Being: Access to basic items is crucial for overall well-being, and volunteers play a vital role in ensuring families have what they need to stay healthy. - Empowering Sustainable Change: By volunteering, we not only address immediate challenges but also work towards creating a more equitable society for all.
