When I heard the presenters speak about their nonprofit organizations during the class what I really noticed was the importance of volunteers and the work they put in. It really made me think about how nonprofits that try to help the bee populations really rely on volunteers and their efforts to help bees as well.
When I consider my topic through this lens I think I really need to focus on the number of people who are helping bees by volunteering their time and if there is a huge need for more people. This would help my understanding of my issue because then I can see if what I can do to help would not only include volunteering my own time but also trying to reach out to others to volunteer as well.
Like I’ve stressed this far the reliance on volunteer work and the need for them is my biggest take away from the class session. Nonprofits really make their differences in their issue because of other people in the community who care as well, they can’t do it alone.
Personally, I think something I could do to really help bees is, like I said before, to volunteer my own time to help nonprofits benefit bees and also maybe communicate to others out in the community and try to ask them to do the same. This way I not only can help directly by volunteering but also indirectly by recruiting more people to help. Not only can I get more people to help but by communicating to the public I also get the word out about the nonprofit and about the issues surrounding bees.
