Normally, I would be writing a reading insight for my Book Brew series. However, at the beginning of this monthly series, Catchafire announced their Volunteer of the Month, and it just happens to be our very own CEO, Damien.
A little backstory here. Back in early 2023, Damien and I decided to expand our volunteer efforts to include projects posted by nonprofit organizations on a platform called Catchafire. This group brings together nonprofits and volunteers to bridge the path to stronger communities. Their platform has helped over 13,000 nonprofits create close to $300 million in value and with over 1.5 million volunteer hours donated.
While I have only worked on a handful of projects, Damien has completed nearly 30 projects and donated more than 240 hours.
You can read his interview about his impact here.
For anyone with even an extra hour available in their schedule, we encourage you to sign up to volunteer. There are so many great opportunities to help nonprofits around the country.
