Any connections to @AWSSupport? We have had an issue with our account for over a month. Unable to log in, our website has been down for a month and we are losing engagement with youth. We have contacted support 9 times and have yet to receive any replies

Looking at getting office space in Mississauga/Brampton for a youth-serving nonprofit @helpinghands . Knowing the difficulties nonprofits face, I would love to share space with a nonprofit with excess space.

Volunteering (and donations) fell by 12 points from 75% in 2018 to 63% in 2022 - @torontofdn
We have seen this. Many organizations we assist are desperate for volunteers as their resources are stretched thin. Some don't even have the capacity for volunteer management #PowerOfUs

This has made our work more difficult but even more important over the years. Young people are a force. However, we need the capacity to ensure they can give back and feel supported at the same time.

With donations and resources down, we cannot keep up with the demand from young people.
Your support ensures we can support every youth who asks us for help.

Now @petebombaci from the @GenWellProject
talking about the impact of young people on loneliness and the long-term impacts. Sense of belonging is one of the impacts that @helpinghands strives for. #PowerOfUs
Here are some impacts in the long term regardless of age.

This morning I am with @TorontoFdn for the launch of Vital Signs. I love the theme of "The Power of Us".
It's the crux of @helpinghands- The power when youth are supported to come together and engage in their community. #PowerOfUs

Throwback to 2021. I was involved in the launch of that year's Vital Signs. It feels like a different time as this was done virtually amidst the pandemic.
I think about the struggle of feeling connected and how vital it shifted how I thought about the impact of @helpinghands
Moderating our launch of the 18th #VitalSignsTO is Janelle Hinds (@MobileAppQueen), founder of @helpinghands.
Janelle is the former Senior Manager at Opportunity for All Youth, helping youth who face barriers find meaningful jobs. Get ready register: bit.ly/VitalSignsTO-2021
