  • Greg Holloway and The Buddy Check Program

    On the 22nd of each month groups of veterans meet informally all around Nebraska to build community and let veteran service men and women know they are not alone and that there is someone who understands. Greg Holloway joins me on the show to talk about his life, his work in veteran services and offer his encouragement to fellow veterans seeking community and to know there are people who want to support them and offer help. This is an amazing conversation. Greg is an amazing example of what it looks like to be a neighbor and advocate to former service members who need a voice and he continues to do that in big and small ways. To find out more about Buddy Check in the Seward area, you can contact Greg at: [email protected]

  • Thoughts on Volunteerism: Part Two
    This is the second of two episodes we're dropping this week in support of volunteering. CASA volunteers are the superheroes of this world and are the voices for children who cannot speak for themselves. We aim to create the strongest volunteer culture possible for today and for the years to come. Part one was geared toward volunteer coordinators and team leaders, this episode is speaking directly to volunteers themselves. If you've ever given of your time, if you've ever participated in the collective mission of an organization or cause, this is for you. If you've ever been called to serve, but haven't taken the plunge this for you.

  • Thoughts on Volunteerism: Part One
    It's Volunteer Awareness week and for this week we are releasing two episodes around volunteerism and volunteering. CASA knows our work relies on open hearts of open hearted individuals willing to give of their time and their wisdom to be the voice for children in need of one. So volunteering and our cultures around volunteering can't be an after thought. We must be vigilant in how we're thinking, and what we're doing to create solutions, be empowered and do good work on behalf of the people in need of caring people raising their hands. This episode is geared toward anyone who has ever been in charge of creating a volunteer work force or supporting one.
