Bergen Volunteers

This month’s Bergen LEADS session brought future leaders face-to-face with the challenges and innovations shaping local healthcare. Hosted by Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, the day included a compelling presentation from Jamie Ketas, VP of Population Health at Englewood Hospital, and a dynamic panel discussion featuring leaders from Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative (BVMI), West Bergen Mental Healthcare, Sharsheret: The Jewish Breast & Ovarian Cancer Community, and Bergen New Bridge. By fostering these conversations, Bergen LEADS empowers its participants to understand critical community issues and develop the skills to drive meaningful change. #mentorshipmatters #bergenleads #bergenvolunteers #careersinhealthcare

Collaboration in action! Our YMCA of Greater Bergen County CAP group and LEADS Mentor Beth Figman toured the facility this month. After meeting with Executive Director Jason Kelly, they were inspired with new ideas to strengthen the Y's mission. Follow along through the months to learn more about each CAP group's projects! #BergenVolunteers #BergenLEADS #BergenCounty #Leadership #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment

Leaves are falling, and for many of our elderly neighbors, raking leaves and taking care of the yard is out of the question. Thanks to volunteers from Veolia North America, our senior program recipients can enjoy being outside without worrying about fallen branches and overgrown lawns.

We're so grateful for The Community Chest of Englewood's generous grant to support Bergen Volunteers' mission. Community partners like The Community Chest are vital to our mission to provide human service and training programs to improve lives and strengthen communities. Thanks to their support, we're able to continue serving more than 8,000 vulnerable families and individuals each year!

Yesterday, our Bergen LEADS class had the incredible opportunity to engage with some of our Bergen County's leaders, including Assemblywoman Lisa Swain, Commissioner Germaine Ortiz, and County Executive Jim Tedesco. Our CEO, Shara Nadler, shared her experiences working with elected officials and government to help strengthen our community. This is what leadership in action looks like! Bergen LEADS is supported by Orange and Rockland, Bank of Hope, NJM, and others. #BergenVolunteers #BergenLEADS #BergenCounty #Leadership #Leadership #Government #LeadershipDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment
