<v Speaker 2>Next week? It's snuck up on us. April's here, and

21
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.079
<v Speaker 2>we're really excited though about this event.

22
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.039
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a lot of fun, and there's so

23
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>many wonderful people. And here's the thing that's really nice

24
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 1>the helpline Center. We're going to talk a little bit

25
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>about what you guys do. But one of the things

26
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>that I want to say, if there's anybody out there

27
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>going I just don't know anybody, I just don't know people.

28
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm lonely, you can reach out. These guys will help

29
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>plug you in to help other people. And now not

30
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>only are you helping other people, but it's gonna help

31
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>you as well because it kind of fills fills your

32
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>cup and you feel like, man, I got to do

33
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>something awesome today. So, if somebody would like to volunteer,

34
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>if they'd like to get involved, how does a helpline

35
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>center do all of that? What is the first step?

36
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we try and make it really easy. I

37
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 2>think the easiest way is probably just dialing two on one, right,

38
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>so folks know they can call two on one for

39
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 2>resource information, but also you can call two on one

40
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>if you want to get connected to volunteer opportunities. So

41
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>they would walk you through some of those options to

42
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>volunteer at local nonprofits or you can work directly with

43
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>me and I'll help you find a fit, right, a

44
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 2>volunteer role that's a perfect fit for you, and it's

45
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>such a great way to help others, but also to

46
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>meet new people and just get connected in the community.

47
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 1>If somebody listening is going, Okay, we do an event

48
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and we're always looking for volunteers. We're always looking for help.

49
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Can they reach out as well?

50
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, we love to share volunteer opportunities that are

51
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 2>going on. So we have a website where agencies, nonprofits, churches, right,

52
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>lots of different organizations can post their volunteer opportunities so

53
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>that volunteers can find them and easily sign up.

54
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Very nice. And again, if somebody listening would like to

55
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>become a volunteer, they can call to on one and

56
