That was an amazing second last session of our Board Games and Mingle Fall Program. At a time when stress abounds with holiday planning, final projects and deadlines, being able to take a day, relax, and enjoy a space is very rewarding.
. Thank you to everyone who was following along and attended!

#IVD2025 is a day to celebrate all of the fantastic work that people have taken upon themselves to do for their communities without anything in return.
in a current world of declining numbers in volunteering, it is very important to appreciate all the folks who stuck it out.

This last session, we talked about how to be ready to get into the workplace, a bit about interviewing, and how to show confidence when applying to a new job. The games also help get you comfortable around others, and learn about your strengths and others', too!
Next session is about volunteering!

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!

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!
