Your Volunteer Stories Inspire Others To Serve

Stories are what connect us!  

When we hear the story of a World War II veteran who finally tells his emotional story at the WWII Memorial, after years of keeping it deep inside, because of volunteers who made the experience possible – it inspires us.

When we hear of the story of a young girl whose life is changed in a very positive way because of the mentor who shares her time and talents – it inspires us.

Inspire others with your stories of service.  Share your story here and on Facebook.

Concord TV’s – Volunteers in Action is dedicated to capturing and sharing stories of service.

Thank Our Volunteer Military Members by Volunteering

On this Veteran’s Day, the iParticipateNH partners ask you to remember and thank the thousands of volunteers who join the U.S. military to protect and serve our great country.

Every day, the men, women and families of the U.S. Military make incredible sacrifices to protect our safety. Give something back by donating a little of your time to the programs and organizations that make a difference in their lives.  Learn what you can do by visiting Welcome Back Veterans.

Some ideas right here in NH can be found by visiting  iParticipate, enter your zip code and use the key word military – there are hundreds of ways to give thanks.

While the adults have a meeting, the kids have a meeting as well.

Get Ready To Be Inspired!

The iParticipateNH partners are excited to share in Tim and Kirsten’s “excellent adventure”,  founders of The Civic Projects.

On January 4th of 2010, Tim Malcolm and Kirsten L’ Orange will begin a 14,000-mile cross country journey to promote social awareness and service by volunteering at 50 community organizations in 50 states in 50 days.

As the number of unemployed Americans climbs to approximately 15 million and charitable giving declined for the first time in 20 years, nonprofit organizations are struggling to meet increased service demands on smaller budgets, making volunteers even more vital to the health of our nation’s communities. The Civic Projects seeks to bring awareness to community-based service organizations hard-pressed by today’s economic climate. 

 As they wind their way across the county, The Civic Projects will serve 50 communities in all 50 states over just 50 days in an effort to create awareness and garner support for locally run service organizations, as well as motivate local residents to get out into their own communities and volunteer.

Learn more about their project at The Civic Projects website and follow them and us on Facebook and Twitter.
