Heavenly Mimi is a non-profit organization helping through the cancer journey. UTD students have been such an asset to Heavenly Mimi. The knowledge they bring to help us grow, is amazing. They go the extra mile to help us with any project we give them.
Sr. Manager of Donor Strategy, North Texas Food Bank
Working with a ProConnect Reach student team was a great experience for the North Texas Food Bank. Tasked with performing a cost-benefit analysis for investing in new software for our matching gifts program, the student team took great responsibility for their work knowing their recommendations could provide a big boost in new revenue. I was impressed with their commitment to the program and the time they spent learning about our organization. This ultimately helped with their final recommendation as it was based on research of similar organizations, industry trends, and revenue forecasts using existing donor data. It was a win-win experience participating in the UT Dallas ProConnect Reach program.
Volunteer Coordinator, National Breast Cancer Foundation
Volunteering reaches places far beyond where you ever imagined. For the healthcare workers, women in treatment, and under-served communities we serve, it all starts with YOU.”? Some of our greatest volunteers are students. They consistently show up and ask ‘What else can I do?’ Our hope is to continue to partner with UTD to reach more women, not only locally but also across the nation, to deliver comforting and life-saving services when they need it most—now.
Director of Volunteers and Food Ministry Brother Bill’s Helping Hand
Frederick Buechner once said: ‘The place where God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger coincide.’ Never have I felt God’s calling so clear and the coinciding of my gladness and the world’s hunger more than I do at Brother Bill’s Helping Hand. Working among the poor and the marginalized in our city has truly enhanced my life and the way I see and understand the world. I have never seen greater generosity than I have in my seven years at BBHH. When both the served and the ones serving participate in a mutual exchange because both believe they have something of value to give to the other, barriers are broken, and real relationships are formed.
Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer VNA
At VNA, we have a wide variety of opportunities for volunteers, from working directly with patients to sewing and administrative projects. During the COVID-19 crisis, volunteers are a life-line to patients and family care-givers who may feel more isolated.
