🌟 Giving Back to Our Communities Through Community Service 🌟 Community service is a powerful way to make a positive impact and foster connections. Here are some tips to get involved and make a difference: 1. **Find a Cause:** Choose a project that resonates with your team and addresses a local need. - **Example:** If you love animals, consider volunteering at the humane society to help care for pets in need. 2. **Get Involved:** Volunteer your time, skills, or resources. Every little bit helps! 3. **Collaborate:** Partner with local organizations to maximize your impact. 4. **Share Your Story:** Inspire others by sharing your experiences on social media. Giving back enriches our lives and builds stronger, more connected communities. Let’s make a difference together! 🌍❤️ #CommunityService #GivingBack #Volunteer #TeamSpirit #MakeADifference

🌴🎪🤔 My app wasn't born during a relaxed workation in Bali, nor in a cool garage in California ... instead, it's the result of many late evenings and weekend sessions in home offices and shared flats, packed with competitive analyses, considerations of customer needs and the detailing of requirements. By my side: Ekaterina Korol, an incredibly talented UI/UX designer who shares my passion for travel and user-centric and beautiful design. Together, supported by countless sticky notes, we've gradually brought the user interface to life. The thought that our app will soon be used by those hungry for adventure and eager to make a difference makes all the hard work more than worthwhile. It has been and continues to be a real adventure, but now I can hardly wait to see our app go out into the world.

A blank page can be very daunting. After months of consultations with staff and volunteers across CHAS, I sat down a couple of weeks ago with a blank page in front of me to write the new CHAS Volunteering Strategy. It's been a huge team effort which has resulted in a strategy that will not only support the development of volunteering in CHAS but will also help us to support more children and families who need us. #volunteering #strategydevelopment

As we close out National Volunteer Week, we are thanking all our volunteers for the generous support they give in time and talent. This work is ongoing, and that’s OK, but the work is made lighter by the many hands that contribute to building strong, respectful, and accepting communities. Take Jarred for example. After the volunteer program relaunch in 2022, Jarred was one of Boyle Street's first volunteers. He was integral in helping us roll out a new volunteer program that was sustainable and effective for our Community Members. Because of his commitment to our community, our folks really trust him and see him as an ally. He has put in the work and the time to understand and engage with vulnerable and marginalized folks to further combat the stigma that our community faces. As Jarred said: “Being a part of the Boyle Street community has given me many beautiful memories and relationships. In volunteering, staff and community members welcome you into their lives and empower you to make the world a more understanding, connected, and dignifying place -- they help you be the change you want to see.” If you’re looking to volunteer for a special occasion or on a regular basis, consider applying for a volunteer position – applications are already open: https://lnkd.in/gytHMNS3 #NationalVolunteerWeek #NVW2024 #EveryMomentMatters #BoyleStreetCommunity #YEGCommunity #YEGPhilanthropy #EndHomelessness #Volunteer #Volunteerism #VolunteeringMatters #CommunityService #VolunteerCanada #VolunteerOpportunity #CommunitySupport #MakeADifference #SupportLocal #VolunteerAppreciation #YEGCharity #YEGNonprofit
