Podcasts about volunteers

Join us for another Episode of the Scrap, this time with Marshall Boyd, a 23-year veteran of two small fire departments south of Houston. We discuss imposter syndrome, sharing how he's worked to impact his corner of the fire service despite feeling like “no one from nowhere.” Marshall explores the shift in firefighting tactics over the years, and the process of making the change... from fiberglass poles to modern tools, and the importance of perspective in adapting to change. We discuss and compare career and volunteer firefighting, the mission remains the same regardless of pay. Marshall also covers leadership as influence, especially in volunteer settings where there's no leverage, and why making the job personal drives his work. Expect insights on through-the-lock forcible entry and the challenges of moving from the truck to the buggy. And as always... our best laid plans were beautifully derailed by the awesome questions from the live audience!!!!  

As we continue to release this word about the currency of Justice, we must have guidelines on how to use this gift from the Lord.  The Lord desires His justice released, and we are the governmental delegates to release this justice.

In small churches, titles can build invisible walls—like pastors' wives on one side, “regular” women on the other. Or ministry leaders here, and occasional volunteers over there. But those labels don't tell the whole story, and they often keep us from the deep, honest community we long for. In this episode, Kristen Joy Humiston and I share from both sides of the wall, uncovering how much more we have in common than what separates us.What you'll hear in this episode:How titles like “pastor's wife” or “leader” can unintentionally create distanceWhy women in small churches often feel divided (and how to bridge the gap)Stories from both sides: living with a title and living without oneHow shared struggles (loneliness, pressure, expectations) prove we're not so different after allWhat it could look like if we ditched the labels and built friendships that actually lastConnect with Kristen Joy Humiston:www.kristenjoycoaching.com Get your FREE ticket for the Lead Well for Women in Small Churches Conference: www.smallchurchsummits.comJoin our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"

The chair of discovery, the chair of belonging, and the chair of serving—these are the three chairs in the Church. Here is what we know about these chairs: each one is where stories are written, and I love these stories! The stories from the third chair are stories of purpose, of finding people, and of faith that makes life full. The past weekend, we sat in the third chair together and ask, “What could God do?!” First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you!  Head over to: http://bit.ly/connectcardccc.

In this episode, Stephen sits down with Ann Fellman, CMO at Bloomerang, to unpack what's actually happening in charitable giving and how nonprofits can raise more—consistently. Drawing from the latest Giving USA data and Bloomerang's vantage point across tens of thousands of organizations, Ann argues that the “decline in generosity” narrative is a myth.Generosity is shifting, not shrinking, and organizations that focus on relationships, recurring giving, and volunteer engagement are outperforming the sector.“Generosity is alive and well—and growing. When we build genuine relationships and make giving easy, nonprofits raise more.” — Ann FellmanAbout Our GuestAnn Fellman leads marketing at Bloomerang, a nonprofit giving platform that brings together donor CRM, fundraising (online, offline, events, auctions), and volunteer management in one place. Bloomerang's goal is simple: help nonprofits raise more—money, time, and community support—by making it easier to build lasting relationships.Episode SnapshotGenerosity is growing. Individual giving remains the largest slice of the pie and has increased year over year. Don't let negative headlines drive your strategy—follow the data.The “meaty middle” matters. Mid-level and first-time donors can become a predictable revenue engine with a thoughtful recurring giving strategy.Volunteers are super-supporters. Treat volunteer time as an on-ramp to deeper engagement; volunteers often become major donors and planned givers.Planned giving is changing. As the Great Wealth Transfer accelerates and more family foundations adopt spend-down policies, proactive relationship-building is essential.Make it easy to give. Donation page UX and integrated tools can materially lift conversion (Ann cited ~30% conversion lift for customers optimizing with Bloomerang's fundraising tools).Data + empathy = durable growth. Segment by life stage, align asks to donor capacity and timing (yes, market cycles influence larger gifts), and communicate impact clearly.

You don’t have to love the weight room, but you can’t last without it. Champ Bailey, a National Football League (NFL) Hall of Famer, admits he never enjoyed lifting, but says respecting the work gave him the edge to sustain 15 seasons at the highest level. Hear how his preparation evolved from traditional lifts to readiness routines — core, mobility, warm-ups, and recovery — that kept him fresh through the NFL grind. Bailey emphasizes that strength and conditioning coaches are undervalued leaders who “see you at all levels,” guide comebacks, and build buy-in with simple numbers. He recalls how a failed conditioning test led to one of his best seasons, and how weight room leadership left no cracks to ensure buy-in from everyone. Bailey continues his impact through the Positive Athlete initiative, using sport as a platform for growth. Gain practical ways to tailor training by role, earn athlete respect, and build a winning culture.

It's how you conduct yourself in meetings. And you don't ever have to be vocal. You let your actions speak for you.” 20:10 “But Positive Athlete is a platform-- it's a recognition platform. So what we do is we recognize student athletes 9th through 12th grade for really just being positive individuals. So it could be somebody who's overcome a terrible injury, just great in the community, great student, good teammate, always on time, always showing up, accountable, all the things that sports sort of teaches us without us even thinking about it.” 26:05 “You've got to think how we value sports and the scrutiny. If every company was run the way you run a sports organization, and the detail, and the evaluation, and the team-oriented environment, and everybody knowing the mission, and staying on task, understanding your role, that's what a team looks like.” 32:30

On a sunny afternoon in downtown Winchester, the secret garden at the Espresso Bar buzzes with the warmth of old friends reuniting. Host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael welcomes Sandy Schwalb, a dedicated volunteer and former board member of Virginia German Shepherd Rescue (VGSR), for a heartfelt conversation about the organization's mission, the power of community, and the life-changing impact of rescue dogs. Sandy's journey with VGSR began years ago, transforming her from a self-described “non-dog person” into a passionate advocate for German Shepherds and animal rescue. Alongside her husband Steve, Sandy has fostered and adopted numerous dogs, each with their own story of resilience and hope. The couple's home has been a haven for both purebred shepherds and lovable mixes, including a feisty Lhasa Apso-poodle who rules the roost. Through laughter and a few tears, Sandy recounts the joys and challenges of fostering, the heartbreak of loss, and the deep bonds that form between humans and their canine companions. The conversation delves into the nuts and bolts of rescue work. VGSR, a nonprofit organization, has placed over 5,000 dogs in loving homes since 2001. Dogs arrive from all over—shelters, owner surrenders, and even out-of-state rescues facilitated by a network of volunteers and pilots. The process is a community effort, relying on fosters, transporters, and donors to ensure every dog gets a second chance. Sandy emphasizes the importance of microchipping, proper identification, and the critical role of fosters, who provide temporary homes and help dogs adjust before adoption. Janet and Sandy also discuss the public's misconceptions about German Shepherds, often seen as police or guard dogs. In reality, these loyal, intelligent animals make wonderful family pets when given the right environment and training. The episode highlights the need for education and advocacy to dispel myths and encourage more people to consider fostering or adopting. Fundraising is a lifeline for VGSR, and Sandy shares details about their annual golf tournament and silent auction, inviting listeners to participate as sponsors, donors, or volunteers. The organization's website and social media pages serve as hubs for information on available dogs, upcoming events, and ways to get involved. Whether it's fostering, volunteering at events, or simply sharing a flyer, every contribution makes a difference. As the conversation wraps up, Janet and Sandy reflect on the transformative power of rescue—for both dogs and people. From the quiet comfort of a well-trained shepherd at a dinner table to the excitement of a new foster finding their forever home, the stories shared are a testament to compassion, resilience, and the enduring connection between humans and animals. For anyone looking to make a difference, VGSR offers countless ways to get involved and help write the next chapter in a rescue dog's story.

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Bill Van Kirk break down a simple, powerful retention lever: align volunteers with their giftedness. They explore how “ability + willingness” fuels longevity and how a SHAPE conversation helps leaders seat the right people in the right roles for healthy teams. If you've ever felt stuck replacing the same volunteers month after month, this episode will equip and inspire you with a practical path to keep the “good ones” God has already provided.Key Topics CoveredDefining giftedness vs. general ability – why the difference matters for retentionJim Collins' “right people, right seats” applied to church teamsThe SHAPE conversation: Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, Experiences—how to run it this monthKey Quote“Wrong seat doesn't mean wrong person—shift the seat, not the bus.” Scripture References1 Corinthians 12:4–7 – “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit… To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.”Romans 12:6 – “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them…”TakeawayRetention starts with alignment. When leaders intentionally discover gifts and place people accordingly, willingness rises, joy increases, and ministries stabilize. Use SHAPE to learn a volunteer's design, then move them to a role where they'll thrive—and stay.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

Every September, a wave of orange (this year) shirts sweep across the Northern Shenandoah Valley, signaling a day when the community comes together for a singular purpose: to give back. This is Day of Caring, an annual event organized by the United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley, and it's more than just a day of volunteerism—it's a celebration of community spirit, corporate partnership, and the power of collective action. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael sat down with Andy Gail, CEO of United Way NSV, and Beth Falu, Assistant Vice President of Fraud Operations at Navy Federal Credit Union and chair of Day of Caring, to discuss the origins, evolution, and impact of this remarkable event. Mobilizing a Movement Day of Caring is not just a local phenomenon; it's part of a global United Way tradition that mobilizes thousands of volunteers to support their communities. As Andy explains, the event's power lies in its scale: “It's great if you can volunteer two hours here, three hours there, but think about if you could get a thousand people in one day to volunteer—what that impact would be.” In the Northern Shenandoah Valley, that impact is visible across Winchester, Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Shenandoah, and Page counties, where nearly a thousand volunteers fan out to tackle projects for nonprofits, schools, and community organizations. Evolving Opportunities While Day of Caring has long been associated with hands-on projects like painting, landscaping, and building ramps, this year marks a significant evolution. Under Beth's leadership, the event has expanded to include administrative and professional services. “Our volunteers have so many skills,” Beth notes. “We want to evolve our volunteer opportunities to cater to all of our volunteer skill sets.” Now, teams can help with marketing, office organization, and even Excel spreadsheets, ensuring that every volunteer can contribute in a meaningful way. Corporate Champions and Community Partners The event's success is fueled by a diverse array of sponsors, from large corporations like First Bank and Navy Federal to local businesses and mom-and-pop shops. “There was every size business imaginable on that list,” Janet observes, highlighting the region's unique spirit of collaboration. These sponsors don't just write checks—they send teams of employees into the field, fostering camaraderie and a sense of purpose among staff. Beth shares stories of volunteers who travel from as far as Northern Virginia to participate, and Andy recalls his own experience as a nonprofit leader benefiting from Day of Caring before joining United Way. The event, he says, is a lifeline for organizations that lack the resources to complete essential projects. A Day of Celebration and Connection Day of Caring is as much about celebration as it is about service. The day begins with a lively kickoff event at Shenandoah University, complete with coffee, breakfast, music, and motivational words from community leaders. After a day of hard work, volunteers and their families gather at West Oaks Farm Market for an after-party, enjoying food, networking, and even sparklers to “spark change.” The event also coincides with the conclusion of the Community Baby Shower, a collaborative effort to collect supplies for new mothers in need. Donations are gathered at local First Bank branches and Marlow dealerships, then assembled into kits for distribution by Healthy Families, further amplifying the day's impact. Lasting Impact and Growing Momentum The ripple effects of Day of Caring extend far beyond a single day. Volunteers return to work energized and inspired, often bringing their families and colleagues into the fold for future events. Nonprofits receive much-needed support, and the community as a whole is strengthened by the connections forged through shared service. As Beth reflects, “It's so contagious… people just had such a great day. It was very impactful for them and they're just sharing the news.” Andy encourages nonprofits to continue submitting projects and invites anyone interested to visit the newly refreshed United Way NSV website for more information. In a world where it's easy to feel disconnected, Day of Caring stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together. Whether you're wielding a paintbrush, crunching numbers, or simply sharing a meal, every act of caring adds up to something extraordinary.

Last fall’s Hurricane Helene brought historic rainfall and record-breaking flooding across the Southeast. In the immediate aftermath, downed trees and destroyed bridges caused 430 miles of the famed Appalachian Trail to be closed. Now, months of labor by volunteer work crews have brought that down to just five miles. John Yang reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
