    The impact of volunteering extends far beyond the end of a shift. New insights from Crisis Text Line CTL reveal that the skills, experiences, and connections volunteers gain through their service continue to influence how they listen, stay calm, and step in for someone in crisis – skills that ripple into their families, workplaces and communities long after they log off. Join us for an inspiring fireside chat with Points of Light President and CEO Jennifer Sirangelo and Crisis Text Line CEO Dena Trujillo as we explore lessons from this powerful example during the UN’s International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development. With constrained resources, volunteer systems are not simply enabling acts of goodwill, but are critical to strengthening our communities and scaling impact.

    Speakers: 

    1. Jennifer Sirangelo, President and CEO, Points of Light
    2. Dena Trujillo, CEO, Crisis Text Line
    3. Moderator to be announced
