Another Great Session for our fall program last Saturday!

We spent time building up confidence, learning what it means to be a confident person, and sharing what has helped us in the past when we were feeling shy.

This Saturday will be about change management!

We want to give a special shout out form yesterday to the volunteer managers who attended our appreciation event for #IVMDay2025. There are so many Volunteer Managers who are doing so much, and we love to be able to connect like this!

Number 3: How has volunteering impacted you? With #IVMDay25 we recognize volunteer managers, but the reason they exist is to make your volunteering experience is positive, enjoyable, and makes an impact.

Let them know about the connections you made, the joy you spread, and happiness you feel!

Part 2 of #IVMDay25 appreciation is something that everyone always likes to hear: That they are important, and how they affect you!

This can be as simple as keeping you on track for volunteering, to giving you an awesome reference, to a gesture or token of appreciation they gave you!
November 5, 2025 at 5:35 PM
Its #IVMDay25 and we want to be able to appreciate all of the great things that Volunteer Managers do in #WaterlooRegion and Beyond. Here is the first thing to recognize a volunteer manager, and it's super simple: Say Thank You!

Kind gestures mean a lot, and a simple thank you is always welcome!

This week will be about confidence!
