Greetings!
As I type on this 70ish degree day, it's hard to believe that it's February--and not, say, April. But that's also because our level of programming starts to speed up in February, as we look ahead to our largest event of the year, the
Governor's Volunteer Service Awards breakfast
on
April 17th
, and programs like our next
Service Enterprise
cohort,
Project Blueprint
, and
Building Capacity for Measurement
get underway in earnest for the new year. I hope you saw the email calling for
nominations for the Governor's Volunteer Service Awards
, and the application deadline for Project Blueprint, which is coming up
next week on February 15th!
We've got lots of irons in the fire as our spring programming heats up--just like the weather!!
In looking back to January, however, we were honored by all of those who came out to support our
10th Annual MLK Day of Service "Read-In" event
, held on January 19th at Wake Forest University. Kierra McClintock, a VISTA member with
WFU's Pro Humantite Institute
knocked the organizing for this event out of the park, and I hope you were able to check out
the photo album on our Facebook page
(Not following us on FB? YOU SHOULD! It's where you'll get first notice of all kinds of special goodies, as well as any possible weather-related delays or changes to programming.) Many thanks as well to our core partners with
Winston-Salem State University.
Together with
Salem Academy and College's
Day of Service the Friday before our Read-In, as well as the City of Winston-Salem's
Helping Hands Day
on the same day, more than 500 volunteers were mobilized at dozens of service sites across our community--one of the largest single-weekend service events we've ever helped organize!
Looking forward to seeing you at the breakfast on April 17th--if not before!
Yours in Service,
Amy Lytle
Executive Director

2019
Forsyth County Governor's Volunteer Service Awards
|
|
While we will still be working closely with our friends at The Winston-Salem Journal, the initial nomination process is being run by the North Carolina Governor's Office this year. Everyone is encouraged to submit their nomination(s)
online
but, if special accommodations are needed, please feel free to reach out to
Brittney
.
As is often the case each year, some popular categories have been eliminated while others have been reinstated. We feel that this, in combination with the new online submission process, calls for some 2019 Forsyth County GVSA Information Sessions. While attendance at an information session is not a prerequisite for submitting a nomination, it is
highly encouraged, especially for first-time nominators
. Regulations that only apply to Forsyth County, tips for submitting a more effective nomination, and questions from session attendees will also be discussed. We would love for you to join us at one of the following:
Information Session Option I
: Tuesday, February 12th- 12:00-1:00 pm
Winston-Salem Foundation, Pfefferkorn, Third Floor
Information Session Option 2
: Wednesday, February 13th- 4:30-5:30 pm
Winston-Salem Foundation, Neill, Third Floor
Nominations will be accepted through
midnight on Friday, March 1st
. (The January 31st deadline that is displayed on the NC Governor's Office website does not apply to Forsyth County).
Please keep in mind that, due to the high volume of nominations that are submitted in Forsyth County, nominators may only submit one individual and/or one group/team nomination.
Category Winners will be announced at the 2019 Forsyth County Governor's Volunteer Service Awards Breakfast on Wednesday, April 17th, at
Bridger Field House
.

Applications for Z Smith Reynolds' Nonprofit Internship Program Now Open
In 2011, to diversify the pool of aspiring, young nonprofit professionals, the
Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation
established a
Non-Profit Internship Program (NPIP)
to provide students with paid summer internships with organizations the Foundation supports.

This year, numerous funders will join together to provide 38 summer internships to students across the state. I
nterns receive a taxable stipend of $3,200 of which the funder provides two-thirds ($2,133) in a lump sum to organizations. Host organizations must provide the remaining one-third ($1,067) and are responsible for paying the stipend to the intern. (Please note: The remaining one-third of the stipend is not paid by the school which the student currently attends.) Each Host Organization is eligible for only one intern per summer.
For more information on becoming a host organization OR an intern, please

Delicious by Shareen Offering Discounted Catering Services to Fellow Nonprofits!
"Delicious by Shereen" is a 501(c)3 nonprofit catering company that works to help refugee and immigrant families become more established in Winston-Salem by providing them an opportunity to work from home, using their cooking skills. This increases both their economic stability as well as their dignity, by providing meaningful work in their new community, rather relying on charitable or public assistance. They currently work with between 5-10 refugee families on an ongoing basis with the possibility of adding more/rotating between different families in the future. However, they can't add more families, or maintain a steady catering workload for those they already engage, without your help--they need your orders!!
The food is, of course, delicious--and they cater all size of events, often on very short notice!
They are eager to partner with other nonprofits - whether to increase the skills and capacity of their workforce via training or other programs that your nonprofit may provide, or to provide their services to your organization that would like to try something different for your catering needs. They cater small office lunches all the way to gala events of 300+ people. And they are willing to provide a
10% discount off of their already reasonable prices for nonprofit clients!
(Just mention that you saw this blurb in our newsletter!) HandsOn NWNC can personally vouch for both their food and service, so we hope that you will check out
their website
or follow them on Facebook or Instagram!
