It's fitting that our Community Review Process takes place during National Volunteer Week! We take pride in recognizing the hard working volunteers that give hundreds of hours to make the annual review process successful. These 40+ volunteers spend time visiting every agency, reviewing outcomes and outputs, evaluating budgets, and listening to agency presentations. This community led process is a hallmark of United Way and you can be proud knowing it is how your dollars are invested. #ThankYou #NationalVolunteerWeek #LIVEUNITED See less

People are at the centre of association life, which is why we focus on them when we do our work.?It could be members, volunteers, suppliers, partners or staff. The personal experience is our motivation. Either way, TouchPoint’s Focus on people carries us through not just this month, which is when we celebrate National Volunteer month, but the entire year. #associationmanagement #focus #eventmanagement #celebratevolunteers

Veteran Housing Corp says that IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

?? Embracing Community: The Heart of Our Shared Journey ?? As we bid farewell to this year, let's cherish the connections that have enriched our lives. This is a time to celebrate our community ties - those special bonds that make our experiences more meaningful. ?? Strengthening Bonds: Reflect on the relationships that have grown stronger this year. How have we supported and uplifted each other? Each interaction is a thread in the beautiful tapestry of our community. ?? Building Bridges: Think about the new connections we've formed. Whether it's through volunteering, social events, or simply reaching out to a neighbor, every new bond adds vibrancy to our community fabric. ?? Sharing Stories: Our shared experiences and stories create a sense of belonging. How have we listened and contributed to our community narrative? In every story shared, we find common ground and understanding. ?? Community Celebrations: Remember the moments of joy and celebration that brought us together. Festivals, gatherings, or virtual events - each one is a reminder of the joy in togetherness. ?? Acts of Kindness: Small acts of kindness have a big impact. Reflect on the moments you've offered or received kindness. These gestures weave a network of care and support. As we step into a new year, let's continue to nurture these connections. They are the heartbeats of our community, filling our journey with warmth and belonging. Here's to a year of building stronger communities, fostering connections, and celebrating our collective spirit. #CommunityConnections #TogetherWeGrow #SharedJourney #HeartfeltCommunity

You know what day it is: #MeetYourMatch Monday! For those of you planning to attend as a FREE guest/ potential volunteer, please remember that we run from noon to 4 pm. When we say 4PM, be aware that we start packing up then. We have exactly an hour to clear up before the gym is turned over to the Youth Programs. If you show up at 3:55 and expect to take your time, you may be disappointed. Also, be aware that we can't control parking. The YMCA is still operational during our volunteer fair, so they will have their usual traffic, plus us. Are you taking the bus? You're good. If you are attending as a participant in the fair, please note that we have access to the gym starting at 11. You have an hour to set up, and an hour to pack up and cede the gym to its regularly scheduled activities, so please plan your display accordingly. Being considerate guests means being thorough and time-aware. It's a volunteer fair, not Laser Floyd. Any difficulties, please seek out one of the friendly Volunteer Peterborough members, who will happy to help you out. We are really, really looking forward to this. We want everyone to have a great experience, and sometimes that means planning ahead. Event details here, if you haven't already committed them to memory: https://buff.ly/3UmCoH5 See you there! YMCA Balsillie Branch, Noon to 4pm THIS WEDNESDAY! (May 8th) #volunteerfair #volunteerrecruitment #communitybuilding #meetyourmatch #planahead #volunteersrock
