I had the honor to present on behalf of Volunteer Mississippi to community members at the Mississippi Arts Commission State Arts Conference this past Wednesday. It was a rewarding experience to engage with community members, teach about volunteer management and share insights on our mission. A heartfelt thank you to the commission for their warm welcome and commitment to fostering collaboration in the arts community!

Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service
关于我们
Volunteer Mississippi’s mission is to engage and support Mississippians of all ages and backgrounds in service to their communities. Established in 1994 as the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service, Volunteer Mississippi works to encourage a culture of citizenship, service and responsibility to America. As a state service commission, we administer funds through AmeriCorps State and Volunteer Generation Fund to address critical community needs in Mississippi and engage citizens in service. In partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning, Mississippi Department of Education, Mississippi Center for Nonprofits, and faith-based and community organizations statewide, Volunteer Mississippi fosters community engagement and strives to build volunteer capacity throughout the state. The bulk of our AmeriCorps programs support and enhance Pre-K and K-12 education initiatives throughout the state, teaching students vital skills they will carry with them throughout their lives. National service opportunities like AmeriCorps contribute heavily to Mississippi workforce development, offering participants practical experience and on-the-job training.

?? Inspiring the Next Generation of Leaders! ?? It was a pleasure for AmeriCorps Mississippi Monitoring Officer Jessica M. to visit Girl Scouts of Louisiana - Pines to the Gulf Troop # 3128! Together, they explored the power of volunteerism and its impact on our communities. ???? The girls worked on their Philanthropy/Volunteer Badge, showcasing their creativity by drawing their favorite volunteering activities and what they know about volunteering. We are especially touched to see several of them illustrate Mrs. Marley! ??? It’s heartwarming to witness young leaders embracing the spirit of giving back. Here’s to cultivating a brighter future through community service! ??? #AmeriCorps #Volunteerism #FutureLeaders #GirlScouts

It was an honor to have Megan faciliate this webinar for our members! We look forward to learning more from her this program year??
How do you support your AmeriCorps members' career goals from afar? When not onsite with members how can you create opportunities for them to develop? I'll tell you this, while it may feel like an extra thing on a full plate, it doesn't need to be complicated. By intentionally engaging members and creating systems of accountability, you can set them up for a great year and professional prospects after. I got to host a webinar for Volunteer Mississippi on essential conversations and mentoring techniques on how to do just that. Thanks for having me! #americorps #professionaldevelopment #training #mentoring #nationalservice #workshopfacilitator
