When we serve communities that are different from our own, or when volunteering exposes us to someone else’s experience that is very different from what we know, we can experience a form of culture shock. ThisÌýVolunteer Resource Center training offers skills for how to cope with challenges and embrace navigating differences in order to build resilience and volunteer more effectively.

Words matter. And they change over time as we change as people and communities. Join in the conversation around the terms we use in our communities, how we name ourselves and how we don’t always agree across our own communities on those terms.Ìý
