A Melanie Minute: A New Year and a New Season

An ongoing feature of Connect 4 Life: The Podcast

In this Melanie Minute, you’ll hear Melanie Taddeo, Founder of Connect 4 Life, talk about the vital importance of volunteers in the world of charities and nonprofits, the value created by volunteers for an organization, the impact on the clients served, and meaningful contributions to one’s larger community.

This Melanie Minute answers the question that some people might have: “You want me to give my time for free? What’s in it for me?"

Charities and nonprofits deliver the programs and services that help fill the gaps, those areas not addressed by the corporate sector or by government. Contributing to such an organization in your community, wherever in the world you reside, can make meaningful impacts on the lives and livelihoods of the clients, and help enrich the broader community in which the organization operates.

A Melanie Minute is a special segment we produce regularly – or, pretty much whenever Connect 4 Life’s Founder, Melanie Taddeo, has something meaningful to share with our listeners.

Similar to an audio blog, A Melanie Minute might actually be a minute in length, or it might be 8 or 10 minutes. Each segment focuses on a special message, an important issue of the day, or something Melanie feels is worth talking about and engaging listeners.
