BRINGING THE CIVIC CIRCLE TO LIFE GLOBAL VOLUNTEER MONTH In 2021, despite a global pandemic and movements on social justice and equity, we saw people continue to take action to meet the most pressing needs of their communities. Our second annual Global Volunteer Month provided an opportunity to celebrate these individuals and the power of volunteers to tackle society’s greatest challenges, to build stronger, more vibrant communities and to take action that changes the world. Continuing a decades-long tradition, President Joseph R. Biden celebrated volunteers in the U.S. with a proclamation recognizing National Volunteer Week in April. Global Volunteer Month lead sponsor Phillips 66 and supporting sponsor The UPS Foundation invested in our efforts enabling Points of Light to partner with TEGNA media on a storytelling initiative in nine key markets as well as the creation and activation of a public service announcement. In 2021, our Global Volunteer Month celebration message experienced: • 244.4M audience reach through public relations efforts. • 345,620 page views on our website. • Almost 60,000 earned media impressions.
LISTEN. LEARN. ACT TO END RACISM In November 2020, Points of Light launched Listen. Learn. Act to End Racism, a two-year initiative in partnership with Morehouse College. The goal of the initiative is to help provide a forum in which people can begin difficult conversations about racism. This framework allows them to gain understanding and learn how to take action that is accessible and impactful in their local communities. WATCH: Listen. Learn. Act to End Racism >>
