A FREE event for nonprofits interested in building or growing corporate volunteer support in partnership with Purposely and Charity Shift. 

This FREE event is hosted by the Good Growth Company and the Centre for Social Innovation. Join me to learn why recruitment is only one part of the volunteer stewardship puzzle, and how thoughtful volunteer engagement can unlock revenue.  

I chat with Brianna Stapleton Welch about her work at Little Free Library. We dig into how to build flexible systems, collect meaningful stories, and honour real community contributions. ​It’s full of insights​ for anyone thinking about how people show up.

This article reflects on Community-Centric Fundraising Principle 5 "time is valued equally as money".

Let's connect on LinkedIn! This is where you can find me online most often: reposting my fave thought leaders, talking about ethical stewardship, and sending heart emojis 💖

I'm sharing short advice and insight vids with my signature sass. You'll also get surprise appearances from my cat Junior.

Mallory Erickson and I discuss viewing volunteer engagement as a strategic initiative, corporate volunteering days, the wage replacement rate... and much more! My fave quote from this conversation: "We need to stop thinking of volunteers as just a way to save money."  

Listen in on my conversation with Swim Karim, host of the Nonprofit Insider Podcast. I share my #NonprofitHorrorStory, my take on how volunteer engagement has changed over the past decade, and why more volunteer hours doesn't necessarily mean more good.

Follow me on Insta and I'll keep you posted about events I'm attending.

Jessica operates Learn with JPP in T’karonto. For thousands of years, T’karonto has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit.

Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and I am grateful to have the privilege to work on this land. 

I call for the reconciliation of current injustices as well as those that have been carried out against Indigenous communities which include but are not limited to broken treaty relationships. 

I encourage you to learn more about the traditional territories of the Indigenous Peoples where you live, work, and play using tools like native-land.ca.
