This session reframes the traditional idea of “impact.” True, sustainable impact is not measured by what we do for a community in a short time, but by how we learn, listen, and participate with them. The goal is to shift the volunteer’s mindset from being a “fixer” to being a learner, an encourager, and a partner. We will explore the idea that the most profound impact of this experience might be the change that occurs within the volunteer themselves, creating a lifelong advocate for responsible engagement.
