This is a story of community, hope, and compassion—where one becomes many, and many become one. Through team synergy, we change the world, one person and one situation at a time, through the power of volunteerism.
From 2013 to 2015, I had the privilege of leading over 10,000 volunteers in providing holiday assistance to those in need. In 2007, I was honored as Volunteer of the Year from a pool of over 20,000 volunteers, and in 2015, I received a Lifetime Achievement Award. Out of these experiences, this teaching, "Building a Volunteer Army," was born. When we invest our time to be part of a team, we create an environment where miracles—both big and small—happen.
I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact of volunteerism. While doing research, I was welcomed into the homeless community in Denver. That experience reaffirmed what I have always known: our volunteer efforts matter. Even when you don’t see immediate results, your kindness makes a lasting difference. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for volunteering.
Volunteerism is the foundation on which our country was built. It has the power to restore love, bring hope in abundance, and create peace of mind for both the giver and the receiver.
This session will inspire and motivate your volunteers, reminding them of their incredible value. I will tailor my presentation to fit the unique needs of your team, recognizing their sacrifices and making sure they feel genuinely appreciated. Together, we will laugh, cry, and celebrate the impact of their service.
It would be my honor to share this message with your organization. Speaking to volunteers is not just what I do—it is who I am. Thank you for considering me.
With gratitude,
Stanley J. Reynolds
