This week is National Volunteer Week. Volunteers are a huge
part of Imagine!’s success. In the fiscal year 2013-14, 409 people volunteered
for Imagine!, providing 12,261 hours of service. The estimated value of those
volunteer hours to Imagine! during that time is $275,025.45!
Volunteers bring much more than monetary value to our
organization. Imagine! is a community-based organization, and we can’t do what
we do without the support of our community. Volunteering offers a great
opportunity for members of our community to experience first-hand the vital
work Imagine! employees do, and just as important, to see the amazing
contributions that individuals served by Imagine! bring to their communities
every day. Imagine! volunteers frequently become donors to our organization,
and many end up working for us full time!
All this week, Imagine!’s Facebook page will be highlighting
some of our fantastic volunteers and the positive impact they have on our
organization.
By the way, do you know of someone interested in
volunteering for Imagine!? Or do you have an Imagine! project that could use
assistance from volunteers? If so, contact Imagine!’s Volunteer Coordinator Elizabeth
Hill at 303-926-6460 or ebaumann@Imaginecolorado.org.

encourage more people to volunteer at Imagine!
