Our #volunteers support #animals in a variety of ways and are essential to keeping operations running smoothly. They devote their time to advocating for legislative change, organizing visiting hours for #pet parents to spend time with their companions in the hospital, tackling continuous laundry, fostering adoptable animals, providing hands-on care behind the scenes, and so much more. 1/

The overwhelming majority of content on the Volunteerism subreddit is posted by me, but most of the content is NOT authored by me: I'm trying to curate info from a variety of resources for those that care about the support of #volunteers & volunteersim. Come visit:

The Independent Sector has released its annual update of the financial value of a volunteer hour. &, like always, nonprofits & others across the USA will use it as THE indicator of why to involve #volunteers. Which is such a lousy idea for oh-so-many reasons. Focusing so much on the dollar value encourages financial supporters & others to ask why there are ANY paid staff, & encourage layoffs. It causes friction with staff paid by the hour less than what a volunteer is supposedly worth.

It’s #NationalVolunteerWeek! THANK YOU to our incredible #volunteers for all the ways you show up for animals—including Run Club! 🏃 In the spirit of Marathon Monday, we’re highlighting our Salem-based Run Club, where volunteers help keep shelter dogs' bodies and minds active by taking them on runs through local neighborhoods. It's also a great way for the #dogs to spend time outside of the shelter!

Your commitment (and energy) is appreciated by all of us ❤️

If you could describe a great civic environment, it might be a place so collaborative that tiny #parks are “planned, planted, named and maintained” by neighbors, working with the city’s parks dept. Believe it or not, there are 137 of such “street parks” in S.F. They are delights for the eye and the pride of #neighborhoods, and parks officials want more of them. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/street-park-san-francisco-22204547.php #volunteers
