It's National Volunteer Week in the US (and Canada?) https://ww2.pointsoflight.org/nvw
Do you volunteer? Thank you!!
Know someone who volunteers? Thank them!
Tell me about some of the volunteering you do. Let's share a little inspiration 😄
What's your volunteering story?
I'll start: I put together the monthly email newsletter for a local non-profit that gives money to people facing hard times, and I teach ESL at my neighborhood library.
@jason I do ESL/adult literacy tutoring one evening a week through an org that works mainly with immigrant women ... a few other less regular things, too.
@emily very cool! The ESL stuff has been really eye opening for me and more rewarding than I’d anticipated.
@jason Ditto. It helps me keep things in perspective, I've built some wonderful friendships, and more than anything it's just amazing to work alongside people who are learning things that will change their lives for the better.
