Last week's Skutt Catholic Community Involvement Day was a big success!

Megan with Autism Society Nebraska shares that "it's time to accept people with autism. To see their skills and goals. That everybody with autism will be fully included in the community. Not only included and accepted, but embraced."

Last week's effort to engage volunteers during Do Good Days was a big success!

During National Volunteer Week and SHARE Omaha and SHARE Iowa highlighted the critical need for volunteers in the metro area. Over 1,700 individuals signed up to volunteer during Do Good Days and beyond! See photos and videos from Do Good Days 2023, here. 

Do Good Days is in the news! With over 1,500 volunteers and counting, the good you are spreading throughout the metro is newsworthy, indeed. 

Do Good Days is coming quickly: April 19-22, 2023!  The need is great for volunteers and this year SHARE Omaha is encouraging the community to step in and fill the hundreds of volunteer positions where volunteers did not return after COVID. 

Dave, a long-time volunteer at the Stephen Center also is a recruiter for volunteers. One recruit, Charlie came with Dave and has been returning consistently ever since.

April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to uplift autistic voices. 

Autism Action Partnership's mission is to improve the quality of life of persons with autism and their families through education, advocacy, and support, thereby enabling them to be an integral part of the community. Their work encourages inclusive environments where individuals with autism live, work, learn, and play.

Do you know about this easy and unique way to give back to the Omaha metro? It takes little time, you decide how much you want to spend and it guarantees that you're giving a local nonprofit exactly what they need. We call it shopping for good. 

Thanks for tuning in to our 10th episode of Volunteer Voices, where we hear from valued volunteers in our community. 

"I knew that there was a lot of value that I have that I wanted to share and give to the kids." - Q, The Keys Foundation volunteer

When I asked Q what keeps her showing up as a mentor, her response was simple: "Them".
