VOLUNTEERING
Another recent addition for Volunteer Manitoba is its Board Connect program, which helps not-for-profit organizations recruit volunteer leaders. “One of the areas we see a great need for right now is board members,” Sey- mour says. “Individuals can sign up, take a workshop on the roles and responsibilities of a non-profit board, and then we help to match them with a non-profit board that is looking for new directors.” Having an impact on an organization in a leadership role can be a meaningful experience — one of the many benefits to volunteering. That said, any volunteering position is beneficial — perhaps even most of all to those who are donating their time. “There are studies that show the positive impacts of volunteering on your mental health,” Seymour says. “We’re all feeling this loneliness epidemic certainly since the pandemic. So, through volunteering, you can build new relationships and connec- tions, but it also feels good to help some- body and to give back.”
