Greetings!
Thank you to everyone who joined HandsOn for our 15th Anniversary gathering last month! We had a wonderful time at this small, intimate celebration talking with the organizations who had made "Civic Commitment Evolutions", past and current board members, and other friends like you who support our work! Together, we have accomplished so much in the last 15 years, but there is plenty of excitement ahead as we continue forward with our work!
Project Blueprint applications are due March 17 and I hope you don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about board service! Project Blueprint provides a superior training experience for any person of color who is interested in serving on a board or wanting to strengthen their leadership skills. This training is an exceptional value and provides a rare opportunity to learn how you can commit to your local community! I hope you will share this opportunity widely with your networks.
And, do not forget that the Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards breakfast is right around the corner! The date is May 2 and sponsorships and tickets are now available. Novant Health’s Forsyth Medical Center Conference Center will host the ceremony for the first time and we hope to recognize volunteers from all walks of life at this beloved annual event!
As the flowers begin to bloom, take a moment to reflect on how you can start anew this spring. How can you get involved in a new experience in our local community?
With Thanks,
Renee

ED note: Remember, if any of you want to share your love of HandsOn with our network, we still have some spots for guest columnists in 2023--so please let Amy know if you're interested!

Project Blueprint Applications due 3/17! |
|
Our Project Blueprint Board Leadership Program is designed to prepare people of color to serve on local nonprofit boards and committees. For decades, nonprofit boards have not reflected the diversity of the communities they serve. According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, approximately 60% of all nonprofits report serving Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC,) yet 84% of board members identify as White and 27% of boards had no BIPOC leaders at all.
The goal of the program is to increase board diversity by providing a pool of qualified volunteer leaders who are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively serve on nonprofit boards or board committees. The curriculum closely follows the book, Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards, published by BoardSource, a nationally recognized organization dedicated to increasing nonprofit board governance. The capstone of the program is a nonprofit speed dating event, designed to match participants with local board opportunities. Cohort participants will meet virtually one morning each week for six weeks, and will receive a stipend to help them implement a personalized, professional development action plan once the program concludes.

Claim Your Spot in Service Enterprise! |
|
We all understand how volunteers are critical to the success and sustainability of nonprofits--and we all know that volunteers haven't engaged as they did pre-pandemic. Rethinking how we integrate volunteers into our organizations going forward is crucial to maximizing impact--and this is exactly what Service Enterprise is all about!
Learn how your organization can join NCCJ Triad, Crisis Control, Senior Services, Girl Scouts Peaks to Piedmont and others in becoming a Certified Service Enterprise. Did you know that Service Enterprises can achieve the same programmatic impact as their non-certified peers, but do so with just 60% of their budget? In this revamped version of the program, you'll join a small cohort of peer organizations in "re-imagining" how to engage volunteers throughout your organizational structure and create a new strategy to ensure their skills are maximized and leveraged to take your organization to the next level! The newest version of the program combines a revised assessment process with cohort-based training and personalized consulting to help you get the most out of your volunteer engagement efforts.

The nonprofit sector is increasingly under pressure to show meaningful results.

Our eighth session of the year will explore different evaluation models and lead you through the process of designing an approach to measure programs, create meaningful measures, collect and analyze data, generate a report, and communicate results to document impact, improve services, and support fundraising efforts. We promise it will be more engaging than it sounds!
Lori Fuller ensures that this session be more engaging than it sounds! After 20 years in private philanthropy, focused on evaluation and learning, Lori has launched Fuller Impact, a consulting firm to support nonprofits and foundations. She brings her realistic optimism--her head and her heart--to helping groups make their thinking visible, deepen their strategy, and improve their implementation in order to amplify their impact.

New Census/AmeriCorps Report Confirms What We Already Knew--The Pandemic Battered Formal Volunteerism!
AmeriCorps, in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau, released the Volunteering and Civic Life in America report last month. It confirmed much of what many of us already knew from first-hand experience: formal volunteering amongst the general public in the US dropped from 30% in 2019 to 23.2% in 2021 (which was still during the height of the pandemic for most people.) Nearly 2 million North Carolinians volunteered in the traditional sense, but nearly twice that many--3.9 million--"helped their neighbors" at the height of the pandemic. What we'll have to wait to find out until next year's report is something else we've heard from many of you--many of those formal volunteers still haven't come back in 2022 or 2023. We've been sharing information about the Civic Circle to talk about these trends, and how nonprofits can embrace new forms of volunteering to diversify their volunteer pool by participating in programs like Service Enterprise. We'd love to come speak to your organization, employee team, civic or church group about these trends--please contact us to learn more!

Help Turkey & Syria Recover From Earthquakes!
It's hard to imagine the scale of the destruction--entire communities flattened and families devastated, with more than 50,000 dead (about the same number of people as those living in Kannapolis or Burlington.) As the area begins to rebuild from the earthquake's impact, nonprofits are quickly responding to the catastrophe with relief funds to support those who need it most. Amy had the pleasure and honor last week to hear José Andrés speak in-person in Greensboro about World Central Kitchen's relief efforts, and the Winston-Salem Foundation has also put together a list of other suggested relief funds.
Our global Points of Light Affiliate Network has also been active in relief efforts. For example, Time Heroes, our Bulgarian affiliate, recruited and trained volunteers who traveled to Turkey. They collected relief supplies, and published a blog post to amplify the messages of second-responder organizations. They continue to find ways to do more, including coordinating with other organizations to create additional distribution points for humanitarian aid.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like discuss other ideas or ways you can support the herculean recovery effort that will be active for several years!
