Let’s open a dialogue about the hurdles we face and connect with others to exchange ideas, and support each other in our journeys. 👉 Engage in the conversation below and share your own experiences or tips!

What a topic to tackle: volunteer comfort and care . . . I'm still mulling over some of my takeaways from the conversation, including 🫂 - responsible comfort and care of our volunteers is about relationships and culture more than policy. Individuals have different needs; we need to entrench a culture of checking in, encouraging/respecting boundaries, asking for feedback, celebrating as a team. 🍶- even though, being intentional about the minimum standards for comfort, and caring for the physical, social, cultural and psychological wellness of the volunteer is a program responsibility and should be codified. If they're doing the work they need to have the tools to do it, and the resources to do it safely. Water and hats on hot days; checking in after an emotionally taxing responses. How does this look at your organization? 🤝 - volunteer comfort and care is embedded across the volunteer lifecycle. It starts with solid understanding of the scope of work and appropriate placement, continues as we provide training and enable the work, and is ever present in how we appreciate volunteers, how they engage with the work, etc, etc. Just like justice, equity, diversity and inclusion work, comfort and care isn't a project or initiative on the side, it's to be entrenched and cultural. Thanks Alex and Kamak for the super conversation this morning!

This Sunday is St Patrick's Day, a day that commemorates the death of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland. It is truly a day for celebrating Irish culture and heritage 💚 At EA, we are no strangers to celebrating different cultures and will always jump at an opportunity to learn something new. For example, did you know that Saint Patrick wasn't actually Irish? He was actually born in Roman Britain, which is now believed to be somewhere in modern day Scotland or Wales! Find that interesting? Here are our top tips for learning about traditions from other cultures: 🧑🎓 Do Your Own Research: - Try to learn about traditions from another culture using sources like articles, documentaries, and even social media! Understanding the context behind cultural practices will enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of them should you ever get to experience them in person! 👋 Talk to a Local: - Engaging with someone that honours a celebration or tradition as part of their culture will always offer valuable insight! Interacting with locals in this way will not only provide a firsthand explanation of traditions, but also help you to foster connections all over the world! 🧡 Show Respect and Keep an Open Mind: - Acknowledging and respecting differences is so important when learning something new about traditions from another culture. Showing that you are open to learning, and making sure you are being sensitive when asking questions will lead to positive interactions, and, more importantly, will help you to better understand traditions from other cultures! #teamendeavours #eacommunity #culture #team #adventureawaits #charity #stpatricksday

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 March 17th marks a global celebration honoring Ireland’s patron saint, known for spreading Christianity. Traditionally, it meant church visits and closed pubs, but in 1737, Boston hosted the first parade, later adopted by Ireland. While cherished by the Irish diaspora, it's embraced worldwide as a day of Irish pride and camaraderie. Whether Irish or not, everyone’s welcome to join the festivities, but it's crucial to celebrate respectfully. If your office plans a party, consider incorporating traditional Irish food or getting creative with themed treats. Keep decorations culturally focused, emphasizing leprechauns and clovers. Setting guidelines for attire ensures a respectful atmosphere. Avoid inappropriate costumes and educate on sensitivity around pinching, which can be misconstrued as harassment. If concerns arise about cultural appropriation, remind that St. Patrick’s Day evolved from celebrating Irish heritage amid discrimination. Alcohol poses challenges, so consider limiting drinks or opting for alcohol-free options. Encourage responsible behavior and offer safe rides home. Incentives like late arrival or free lunch can deter post-celebration absences. Ultimately, fostering a festive, inclusive environment boosts morale and engagement. Let’s celebrate responsibly and enjoy the spirit of the holiday! 🎉 #humanresources #saintpatricksday #officeculture
