The Salvation Army Southern California’s Post

Meet Zuzanna! 🌟 Zuzanna, one of our Supervisors, Let's hear what she has to say about DCS: "I think Dublin Community Support (DCS) is a great volunteer group. Being a part of the group really helps if you ever wanted a career in support services or emergency services. It's great to go out and help the community and you come across so many different situations. DCS provides the team with great trainings. Whether it be learning about all the support services available to an individual or knowing how to use a rope bag, there's training available for everything. Not only that but DCS Management also provides a great support network for all it's members. It comes in mad handy if you dealt with something serious on a particular night and just wanted to speak to someone to get it of your chest. Honestly i love being out with dcs being out there to help people and also having the best team around me."

Have you ever felt like something was missing from you life? Perhaps you’ve recently realized you are so engrossed in your life and how well you are doing you missed seeing how someone close to you was struggling. Or maybe you have a teenager and are remembering how hard it was growing into the person you are today. If anyone of this resonates considering volunteering and giving back to your community. #volunteer #community #givingback #supportingyouth #youthempowerment #youthleadership #mentoring

By helping others, volunteers also help themselves. Not only are volunteers the lifeblood of our schools and shelters, hospitals and hotlines, food banks, and civic, nonprofit, tribal, and faith-based organizations across the country, but they are also essential to our nation's economic and social well-being. @AmeriCorps and @uscensusbureau's latest Volunteering and Civic Life in America research found that with more than 4.99 billion hours committed to service, volunteers make a difference in their communities while earning benefits such as hands-on experience, learning new skills, and more.

There is truth in this comment. If you're a company looking to make an impact within your local community by leveraging your employees' desire to use volunteer time, make sure it is worthwhile for both them AND the organization you are helping. If it is just two hours, please, PLEASE reconsider your time commitment! As an organizer on projects such as these, I can tell you that the first 30 to 45 minutes a company volunteer day is spent just herding the cats, introductions, going over safety instructions, and doing photo ops. If that leaves just 75 to 90 minutes to actually work, your company's staff won't feel like it was worth their time. The employees WANT to get their hands dirty! They WANT to do something that isn't looking at spreadsheets or emails! And most of all, they WANT to know that when they leave later that day, they can say they made a difference. And you know what they say: "You've GOT to give the people what they WANT!" #volunteering #activism
