The time Jake almost killed his uncle during a Hurricane
Did this episode get you thinking, or did we miss the mark? Let us know by leaving us a message on SpeakPipe.
Jake shares a recent account of being ‘voluntold’ during a hurricane in Nova Scotia earlier this year.
Although Jake's poor math skills almost ended in tragedy for his uncle, he gained some interesting insights about what it means to volunteer at your ‘highest level of contribution’.
Together, Jake and Chris consider how to have a ‘with’ posture with those we are hoping to ‘help,’ and the surprising results of being open to receive ‘help’ from those we are helping through volunteering.
Chris explains the Three Stages in the Journey of a Volunteer and the implications for each of us on that journey.

It embodies a set of core beliefs, principles and a way of being with people that proactively promotes building a sense of community and developing social capital. It creates a common language and approach for fostering a sense of social responsibility and shared accountability.
Tourist–Traveler–Guide. This is the journey of the volunteer: The great failure of volunteer coordinators lies in expecting tourists to act like guides, treating guides like tourists, and ignoring the traveler all-together.
