Points of Light’s Post

‼️Big news from the #PointsofLight25 Conference: Points of Light announced a bold goal to double the rate of volunteering across the U.S. and internationally through our global programs. Why? Because people need connection. Communities need capacity. And at scale, volunteering can bridge divides and build trust, helping us create a stronger, more united society. This isn’t just about increasing numbers. It’s about investing in the people and organizations who are building relationships and community resilience from the ground up. As our President and CEO, Jennifer Sirangelo said during her keynote, “Volunteering is a catalyst for societal change. The more individuals realize their purpose through volunteering, the more it transforms our society for the better.” Thank you, The Associated Press for shining a light on the incredible power of volunteers and recognizing the need to rebuild civic engagement in new, transformative ways. Check out the article, and let’s meet this moment to make volunteering a force for real, lasting change across generations.
