April is National Volunteer Month. In today's podcast we introduce you to a congregant who has turned volunteering into her full-time gig.

A few of those causes include voting rights, helping to end racism, and supporting disadvantaged people. When the 2016 election came around Janet began to volunteer her time at a phone bank encouraging people to get out and vote. Post-election, she decided to concentrate her time at the Movement Voter Project, an initiative focused on communities of color and/or youth, especially in key battleground states and districts. Janet is also very dedicated to Beacon Academy, an organization that supports limited resource students and prepares them for acceptance into independent high schools. As National Volunteer Month comes to a close, listen as Janet describes how in addition to giving to so many, she receives much in return.

You’re listening to "Searching for More,” a podcast of the Diocese of Arlington. On this episode, during National Volunteer Month, hear Debra Beard, Director of Volunteers for Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington, highlight the incredible work of Catholic Charities’ more than 2,500 active volunteers during the past year amidst the pandemic. Hear Debra talk about what motivates Catholic Charities and its volunteers to selflessly serve as she offers inspiring stories from the last year.  

This is Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington. As we close National Volunteer Month, it is the opportune time to do two things: One is to thank those who give so unselfishly of their time and talent. It is estimated that 25 percent of Americans volunteer in some capacity. The second is to challenge the remaining 75 percent to find the time and make the effort to help those less fortunate. For more than a year now, we have seen food pantries providing meals to hungry families, medical professionals facilitating vaccinations, and rescue crews helping victims of natural disasters from coast to coast. We see the best of our country in those who find joy in giving back—and it reflects our character as a nation. And we see it every day in those mentoring, serving and accompanying those who need help. May we all commit to finding the joy of giving back.

"It's just a very rewarding experience, especially because I personally feel like I would not be where I am today, whether in my life or in my career without AKPsi, so I feel that duty to give back and to me, that's very motivating." Join regional directors Jacob Drees and Josh Machtinger as well as regional manager Corey Reddy and chapter advisor Lauren Burke as they discuss their AKPsi volunteer journeys, what motivates them to continue this work, and how these skills transfer to their professional life.

But there’s no storefront, no website, no vendors or purchase orders required. And the wealth isn’t wired—but it is transferred.If you want happiness for an hour—take a nap.If you want happiness for a day—go fishing.If you want happiness for a month—get married.If you want happiness for a year—inherit a fortune.If you want happiness for a lifetime—help others.-- Chinese proverbHere’s how to get both rich and happy, guaranteed.Find a cause that feeds your soul. You’ll know it when you find it, because you’ll feel excited and uplifted at the thought of being involved. It’s okay if you find multiple causes, even rotate them. I’ve been involved with civil rights, abused kids, homelessness, women’s halfway houses, meal delivery programs and AIDS—each experience has stretched me in ways I could never have imagined. Learn about causes via Google or go to www.volunteermatch.org.Commit to “one a week.” This means giving an hour a week to a cause or an hour’s worth of salary. (Or give whatever amount feels right—just give something!). You can batch up your time and/or money and give in chunks, too.After you make a commitment to yourself, schedule your service time to ensure it happens. Write it on your calendar, book it in your phone, or write it on your hand—whatever it takes to make this an unbreakable date for giving. If you don’t set the time aside, life will intrude and you’ll lose the opportunity.Remember, you have a lot to give. You have time, talent, and treasure. Figure out which one feels right to give. Are you an expert in public relations, and could donate an hour a week helping a nonprofit with PR? That’s donating time and talent. Would you rather write a check? That’s donating treasure. It’s all good.Get others involved. In my companies I like to match the donations given by staff members (up to a specific amount). This is fun, gets the company and the team involved in giving, and boosts morale.April is National Volunteer Month. If you don’t volunteer regularly yet, now is a great time to start.When you start to give your precious time, energy or even funds to a cool cause you resonate with, you’ll learn one of the greatest lessons in life: giving is actually receiving. They are the same. You give and you get at the same time.I am a hospice volunteer. For 14 years I’ve helped people with 6 months or less to die with peace, dignity, and as little physical discomfort as possible. Each of the 19 people I’ve had the honor of supporting through the death process has been a remarkable teacher to me. Imagine being brought into someone’s life at such a challenging time. Now imagine what their loved ones are going through.Timing Is… NothingMany people tell me they are seeking their purpose in life; they’re waiting for that divine epiphany where their mission becomes blindingly clear. Then they’ll volunteer, become a philanthropist, really commit to a cause. Until then they’re in the grand “waiting room” of life—and let me tell you, there’s a huge crowd in there. And all are waiting. Are you?I don’t receive divine messages that are complete and clear. I receive divine sticky notes. You’ve received these too. Maybe you had an insight as you were walking in nature, meditating when your mind was still. Did you follow that message? Did you implement it in your life? I’ve found that when I do, it leads to more messages. Then months later I look back and marvel at what has come of that one tiny insight.It’s funny, everyone spends so much time talking about work-life balance, and so little time talking about the need for service, for giving back to humanity. I find those are the best ways for me to stay balanced. We’re all busy, sure, but everyone can find one hour per week or a few hours per month to volunteer. Volunteering can bring you experiences that will shape your life in ways you couldn’t possibly imagine.I hope you’ll try volunteering—whenever you’re ready--because I know it will make you rich inside, and it will make you happy, and it will put a spring in your step.Yes, happiness can be bought. It comes from being of service to others, and often when it’s hard or uncomfortable. But the discomfort is temporary. And the happiness and inner wealth just grows and grows.
