07. The Power of Volunteers as Community Capital

This week we’re talking about “community capital,” the incredible unique value that every volunteer brings to the organizations in which they choose to serve.   It’s easy to see volunteers as simply an extra pair of helping hands, but they are so much more! Each volunteer carries within them a lifetime of experience, education, personal and socioeconomic background, and relationships. These all combine to create a unique worldview and a powerful singular value called “community capital.”  In this episode, Tobi explores the true value of volunteers from all walks of life through the lens of this community capital and invites you to consider how the contributions of individual volunteers benefit the community as a whole.
