In this season of fresh starts, try thinking about ways you can give back to your community. In addition to being a kind thing to do, giving to others can make you feel happier, reduce stress, and create a greater sense of purpose. You can give your time, pantry goods, clothes you no longer wear, etc.    SABG employees who choose to give their time can utilize SABG's Volunteer Time Off (VTO) benefit! Here's a photo of employee Rick Burlison, who recently used VTO to build and deliver beds for children in need. #VTO #GiveBack #CustomerFocusedMissionDriven #GiveBack

Here's a little bit of a different #SafetyTopic -- Water Safety. It's pool, lake, and beach season, and taking a swim is a great way to cool off. But water needs to be respected! This summer, take steps to make sure your loved ones -- especially kids -- are safe in and around the water. In my years with the Y, some of the key things we talked about when it comes to water safety are: 🙋♂️Make sure kids know they need to ask permission before getting in the water. Make it a habit. The child gets permission, and an adult is aware! 👀 While all adults should be paying attention, consider creating shifts with designated "Water Watchers." His or her job is to watch the summer fun like a hawk with no distractions. 📵 Put your phone down! Especially the Water Watcher. 💦 Don't just watch: Get in! Model safe behavior in and around water! 🏊♀️ And finally, the best way to keep kids safe around water is to enroll in swim lessons. The Y (YMCA) invented swim lessons, and there are Ys in communities across the country. Many (Most? All?) provide support for families to participate in programs like swim lessons, even if they are struggling financially. And if you're an adult who can't swim, The Y offers adult swim lessons as well! Will you commit to being a Water Watcher this summer? #watersafety #summertime

If you feel so moved to support Big City Mountaineers' work this #givingtuesday, I would be honored to include you in our community. You can go to https://lnkd.in/g4uCRZzj and schedule your Colorado Gives Day donation for December 6, 2022 (you do not have to live in Colorado to participate in this event) You can go to our website at https://lnkd.in/gpr-pyNb Our 2024 impact report is poised to come out later this week but here are some sneak preview highlights:  -An increase of over 40% in the number of youth served this year! -An increase of over 27% in the number of trail hours delivered this year!  -A successful inaugural year in our new program region in Birmingham, AL! What I'm most proud of, though, is the #socialemotional growth our programs are supporting in BCM youth participants. We are tracking changes in #selfesteem, #selfefficacy, and sense of social #belonging, and have found  -Growth Across the Board: Participants consistently improve in self-esteem, self-efficacy, and social belonging from pre- to post-experience. -Deeper Engagement, Greater Impact: Youth who complete the full trip series (day hike, overnight, expedition) show greater gains than those who only participate in parts of the program. -Demonstrating Higher Gains: On average, BCM participants score higher in these dimensions than peers who did not engage in our programs. -Transforming Challenges into Growth: Youth with lower pre-trip scores experience the most substantial post-trip gains, demonstrating BCM's effectiveness for those facing greater social-emotional challenges. In short - lowering barriers to outdoor access for youth who stand to benefit from it the most is built into who we are. And, #camping #hiking and #backpacking don't have to be your thing to love what BCM does, it turns out that time spent outdoors is one of the most effective ways to help a young person advance in these, and many other critical, domains of #wellbeing. But don't take it from me - It's my job to say these things. Check out a news story from this past summer about a BCM trip in Minnesota and hear it from the youth participants firsthand - https://lnkd.in/gy3CE9g5 #nonprofit #nonprofitsupport #nonprofitdonation #donate
