Group Involved Volunteering (GIV Days) with Hull Services are some of our most favourite days of the year! They bring people together, promote civic and community responsibility, and helps provide important work on projects across our Agency. Last year, Strathcona Resources Ltd. sent nearly 30 people to help with outdoor cleanup. and We spoke with Adrienne at Strathcona to hear about the impact their GIV Day had not only on Hull, but also their employees: “Volunteering opportunities have encouraged direct engagement between our employees and Hull Services. These experiences help raise awareness within our teams about your organization and your mission and bring greater attention to the importance of supporting youth and family mental health in our community.” Click here to read their Q&A and impact that their GIV Days have at Hull: https://lnkd.in/gvmZ_RqR

When we think about community, what are some things that come to mind? Showing up for one another? Bringing people together? Volunteering does both— and is a vital force in building and fostering community development. Volunteers graciously offer their time, skills, and resources to help improve the well-being of their communities. 🏘️ Volunteers are also transformative, helping to create stronger, more resilient, and sustainable communities —and inspiring others to get involved and give back to the community. 🤝 Here are some amazing stats about the impact of Hull’s volunteers: GIV Day Partnerships: Value of volunteer time: $114,000 Number of volunteers: 421 Total number of hours: 4,757 To help make an impact like this and support the mental health of children, youth, and families in your community through volunteering, click here: https://lnkd.in/g2xAQDYq
