WHY THEY JOINED
“When I first moved to San Diego, I began searching for ways to engage in meaningful volunteer work alongside a community of like-minded individuals. Having been part of the SVP community in two other cities, joining SDSVP was an easy choice. SDSVP is such a welcoming group and by far the most engaged and rewarding SVP experience I have encountered.”
“When I retired from the business sector, I wanted to begin a new chapter that was more community oriented. I was hoping to use my professional experience to support the greater good. SVP provided me with exactly that. I now feel a sense of purpose that I may not have found elsewhere.”
“I have always been a very engaged citizen, and I am constantly searching for ways to ignite positive change within my community. By becoming an SVP Partner, I was able to make the most of my free time while exploring issue areas and organizations within San Diego that I may not have known about otherwise.”
“When I was asked to lead Just in Time for Foster Youth as their very first Executive Director, I had no idea how much my skills and experience from a long career in the private sector would translate to a local nonprofit. Over a decade later, I've seen that the same core principles apply, and now I'm using both perspectives in the work I'm doing with like-minded peers as an SVP partner. The first question really isn't ‘What do I know?’ It's ‘How can I help?’"
“When working a full-time job, it can be difficult to find the time to give back to your community in a way that actually feels impactful. SVP has provided me with a unique volunteer opportunity where I am now able to leverage my professional experience to make a difference."
“I’ve always been drawn to the sense of fulfillment that comes with volunteering for non-profit organizations, and even though hands-on volunteer work was fun, it never felt like the best use of my time or skills. Becoming an SVP Partner helped me find the project-based volunteer opportunities I was longing for. Now I’m making a greater impact than I ever imagined and learning so much in the process!"
