Huge Thank You to our amazing Who I Am Foundation #volunteers in #Albuquerque who came out to Saturday morning's Community Clean-Up project! Our volunteers picked up over 4 BAGS of trash at Tingley Beach, in a little over 2 hours! Showcasing the impact you can make in the community by simply volunteering 1-2 hours a week. These Community Clean-Up projects are conducted each month, and our team will rotate around to different parts of Santa Fe, to clean up streets, neighborhoods, and parks. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing #community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. If you know of any parks or neighborhoods that could use some beautification, simply comment below! #EnvironmentalOutreach Awesome job #TeamWhoIAm_Albuquerque

Engaging in community service goes beyond mere participation; it is about building and contributing to the fabric of our local areas. For real estate professionals at SPiRALNY, commitment to community service is not just about enhancing visibility or expanding networks. It's about creating genuine connections and making tangible impacts in the neighborhoods we serve. By volunteering, agents embed themselves within the community, gaining an intimate understanding of the area's unique needs and the people who live there. This deep-rooted involvement pays dividends beyond professional networking. It fosters trust and establishes long-term relationships that are the cornerstone of the real estate business. Whether participating in local clean-up events, supporting community centers, or contributing to food drives, every act of service enriches the community and, by extension, enriches us. Remember, in the tapestry of community life, every thread we weave through service strengthens the whole. We invite you to join us in making a difference—one act of service at a time. What initiatives or projects are you passionate about? How can we drive positive change in our neighborhoods as a community of real estate professionals and citizens? Please share your thoughts, and let's create a ripple effect of goodness. #SPiRALNY #marcelbellucci #CommunityService #RealEstateWithPurpose #GiveBack #LocalLove #CommunityFirst #AgentsofChange

🌟 Introducing Successful Volunteer Sessions at Castle Grounds and the Cemetery! 🌟 I'm thrilled to announce that this year, one of my projects has been to introduce volunteer sessions for two of our beloved open spaces: the Castle Grounds and the Cemetery. 💚 Castle Grounds: Our volunteers have done a fantastic job maintaining and beautifying this historic site. Their efforts ensure that the grounds remain a peaceful and inviting place for everyone to enjoy. 🌸 Cemetery: Here, volunteers have been instrumental in preserving the dignity and tranquillity of the space. Their work helps honour the memory of those laid to rest and provides a serene environment for visitors. Volunteering is more than just lending a hand; it's about building a community, fostering a sense of ownership, and making a positive impact. It's a chance to meet new people, learn new skills, and gain a sense of fulfilment from contributing to something meaningful. 🙏 Why Encourage Volunteering? Community Building: Volunteering brings people together from diverse backgrounds, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose. Personal Growth: It offers opportunities to learn, grow, and develop new skills. Mental Well-being: Helping others can boost your mood and provide a sense of accomplishment. Environmental Stewardship: Volunteers play a crucial role in maintaining and improving our green spaces for future generations. #Volunteering #Community #CastleGrounds #Cemetery #GivingBack #CommunityService #VolunteerImpact #Sustainability #MentalWellBeing #EnvironmentalStewardship

Tip #4: Volunteer Whether it’s passing on skills honed in your professional life or volunteering for pure enjoyment, those who volunteer have larger social circles, report higher levels of happiness, & have a clear sense of purpose. Typically, when you retire, you engage in less social activity, but that doesn’t have to be the case. When you volunteer, you’re often exposed to many people with common interests which can strengthen your support network, increase self-confidence, & bring you & others a lot of joy. IDEAS • Consider your interests & look for opportunities that match • Look for fun and fulfilling opportunities • Determine how much time you want to commit • There are remote & on-site opportunities, figure out what works best for you • Think about your volunteering goals • Consider new possibilities & activities you’ve never done before: community theatres, museums, libraries, community centres, animal shelters, wildlife centres, sports organizations, conservation efforts, the list goes on! https://zurl.co/MIGv
