274. Are We Losing The True Meaning of Volunteering?
Friends, you know we ask all the questions…even if we don’t have all the answers! Today, we're diving into a topic that hits close to home for many of us—volunteering. We're asking some tough questions: What happens when volunteering becomes more about extra credit or resume-building? How does this culture impact our efforts to shift harmful narratives? How can we make sure we teach our kids that volunteering isn’t just for show or awards? We’re chatting about how to make sure our volunteering efforts are intentional and meaningful, and our personal experiences that have made a meaningful impact. We know it's not about being the hero—it's about building bridges, we hope you’ll join us for this important conversation and share your thoughts and experiences with us!
