Leaders of Volunteers,
A couple of newsletters ago I shared my story of volunteering and what I do to stay connected to my community and my neighbors and to make sure that I'm keeping my compassion battery charged!
This week I want to hear your story! Have you had an amazing experience as a volunteer, or done something exciting or innovative within your volunteer engagement strategy?
Last month VolunteerMatch launched a partnership with MemoryFox so we can collect all the great stories, through photos and videos, of people making a difference in their community. I know that many of you have volunteering stories too - either as a volunteer, or as someone who's helped a volunteer connect their passion with purpose. We want to hear those stories!
And, you might have heard that Tobi Johnson from VolunteerPro and I have a podcast… We do! We started the Time+Talent Podcast to share the impact of leaders of volunteers. And, we're starting to work on Season 5! Have you tried something new? Have you changed an approach or invited volunteers to take on new or different roles? Join us as a guest next season! Tobi and I want to learn about how awesome you are, and we want others to know it too!
P.S. The Learning Center is still on hiatus, but I'll be at Points of Light in Chicago June 14-16, and at MAVA in St Paul July 19-21. I'd love to connect if you're also going!
