The time Jake almost killed his uncle during a Hurricane
Jake shares a recent account of being ‘voluntold’ during a hurricane in Nova Scotia earlier this year.
Although Jake's poor math skills almost ended in tragedy for his uncle, he gained some interesting insights about what it means to volunteer at your ‘highest level of contribution’.
Together, Jake and Chris consider how to have a ‘with’ posture with those we are hoping to ‘help,’ and the surprising results of being open to receive ‘help’ from those we are helping through volunteering.
Chris explains the Three Stages in the Journey of a Volunteer and the implications for each of us on that journey.
