What Volunteering Means to Me

What Volunteering Means to Me

🤝In my community, they give a service to youth award each year to a teacher, support staff and a volunteer.

🤔My husband told me that I couldn’t go on the treadmill. He told me that I wasn’t going to want to answer the door all sweaty. He told me that someone was coming.

🎓My son had just gotten into Cornell, so I figured that one of my friend’s was showing up with Cornell merchandise or something along those lines.

💐I answered the door and there stood Eliza and Alan with flowers and balloons. Wait, this is about me? This isn’t about Max?

🏆They came to my house to announce that I won the service to youth award for my years of volunteer service in our school district.

💕Last night my kids got awards at the school award ceremony and tomorrow I receive my award. This is an emotional week and an emotional month.

🔁Click here & join me live tonight at 9PM while I sharing something deeply personal…what 15 years of school volunteering has taught me about service, connection, and showing up. Let’s talk about the power of community, lifting each other up, and why every act of service truly matters.
