Celebrating our volunteers

Amanda has been with us for several months as a youth volunteer! In such time, she has been integral in planning a wellness initiative as part of a youth-driven committee developing “Teen Totes”. These totes support wellness from three lenses, creativity, physical wellness and self-care. 

When asked about her experience with MFS-NCR as a volunteer Amanda had this to share: 

“Volunteering for MFS-NCR has been amazing. I really enjoy being able to help others feel better. I love the people I volunteer with. Everyone is wonderful. It just makes me feel good that I might be making someone’s day better and I get to help with the knowledge I have as a military kid, which I find very neat.” 

Thank you for your valuable contributions, Amanda. We appreciate YOU! 

Daniella has contributed to supporting PSP Rec summer camp program as well as with our relocation kits initiative in summer 2023.  Additionally, she has worked on the planning and execution of the Teen Tote project aimed at wellness and wellbeing of CAF connected youth in the NCR community. Daniella is dedicated to the community and continues to be a valued member of our volunteer team. 

When asked, this is how Daniella described her experience.  

“I love volunteering with MFS-NCR! I have been able to give back to my community while meeting new people, completing a variety of enjoyable tasks, and learning many new skills. My experiences with MFS-NCR have allowed me to become more involved in the military community and create bonds with wonderful people. I would definitely recommend volunteering - there are so many ways to make a difference in your community and volunteering with MFS-NCR is an amazing way to do so!” 

Please join us in giving a huge thank you to Daniella L.! 

Stephanie has been instrumental in supporting our Sensory Lending Library.  

Here is what Stephanie says about her experience.  

“Participating in the sensory lending library has been incredibly rewarding, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful cause. 

The impact this experience has had on me is profound. Not only did I feel a sense of fulfillment from knowing that I was making a positive difference, but I also gained valuable insights and skills that I believe will benefit me personally and professionally. Engaging with your team and witnessing the dedication to the organization's mission has inspired me to continue seeking ways to contribute to my community. 

In terms of what went well, I was impressed by the organization's commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for volunteers. The clear communication channels and regular check-ins ensured that I always felt connected to the team and the overall mission. 

Additionally, the sense of camaraderie among people working there was remarkable. It created a positive atmosphere that made the experience not only impactful but also enjoyable. The MFS-NCR's ability to create a sense of purpose and community among its volunteers is a testament to the effective management and leadership in place. 

Thank you once again for the opportunity to be a part of your organization. I look forward to the possibility of future volunteer opportunities and continuing to contribute to the incredible work, you do.” 

Kudos and thank you Stephanie!
