Story
People Making a Difference (PMD) seeks to create a world in which people and businesses are socially aware and engaged in their communities such that they approach volunteerism by learning about problems and needs, becoming familiar with local charities that are working to address them, volunteering reliably, and providing other needed resources to make a difference. Our vision is for everyone to be able to volunteer productively a few times a year so that together we make a real difference throughout the year while learning important things along the way.
PMD organizes a variety of fun, one-time opportunities for people to give (volunteer and/or donate) where they are needed on occasional weekends and/or at their workplaces
Its easy to participate, since we only require committing to a one-time opportunity.
PMD provides expert service project planning and volunteer management for high impact, plus coaching and strategizing with charity partners on the best ways to engage volunteers, staff, and the community.
PMD partners with community-based charities that inform us what their communities need, and 88% of our partner charities have no staff dedicated to working with volunteers or rely on part-time staff, meaning that most are not in a position to engage volunteers themselves and yet need volunteer assistance.
