Social capital isn’t just about mentors and industry professionals—it’s also about peer-to-peer connections. When young people participate in programs together, they’re building bonds that can shape their futures. These relationships often evolve into lifelong networks—support systems that grow with them into college, careers, and beyond. Young people are craving these spaces now more than ever, especially as young people increasingly report feelings of isolation despite being "connected" through technology. Right now, Clubs are filled with future lawyers, doctors, activists, and game-changers. Just like Scott Tollett, now President & COO of Victra - Verizon Authorized Retailer, their journeys start here. Let’s keep creating spaces where young people can connect, inspire each other, and build their own social capital. #SocialCapital #YouthDevelopment #YourWorkforceBestie"

🌟 One of the most inspiring aspects of working in a corporate environment is witnessing the commitment to social responsibility. Many organisations prioritise ongoing workplace giving, and I'm proud to be part of a team that actively contributes to the wider community and supports those in need. Every little effort counts, and it's rewarding to see how our collective actions can make a meaningful difference. How does your workplace engage in giving back?

Empowering Your Legacy: How to Create a Charitable Giving Plan Giving is more than just writing a check. It represents a meaningful experience and direction that helps to create an enduring impact felt by your family and by those you are helping. #legacyplanning #charitablegiving #phoenix

Two weeks ago, I had the incredible experience of attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Toronto. The energy was electric—thousands of fans singing in unison, creating a shared sense of connection that was both powerful and uplifting. It reminded me how transformative community can be, and how we can carry that same feeling forward by giving back to others. That’s why #GivingTuesday resonates so deeply. It’s a day to unite through generosity, to create ripples of impact that extend far beyond ourselves. At Aventiv Technologies, I’m proud of the way my colleagues leaned into this spirit of giving, finding meaningful ways to support the communities we serve. When people ask about my favorite part of working at Aventiv Technologies, my answer is always rooted in one word: connection. The power of connection drives everything we do—from building innovative solutions to providing technology that can foster opportunities for upward economic mobility when people return to their communities. And it’s this same spirit of connection that made #GivingTuesday such a standout moment this year. Moments that spark connection should remind us that we’re all part of something bigger, and the bonds we build through purpose and action are what make a difference. Let’s keep that energy alive—whether it’s on stage, in our workplaces, or out in the world. Because as Taylor Swift said “No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” When we collaborate and reimagine connection with each other, the positive impact we create comes back around, lifting us all. https://lnkd.in/g4PyCW-u  

Scott and Lisa Nelson exemplify the power of combining hands-on service with strategic philanthropy. As dedicated Los Angeles Regional Food Bank supporters, they've donated their time and financial resources to fight hunger in LA County. Their latest step included leveraging their IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to make an even more significant impact. By donating directly from their IRA, the Nelsons avoid taxes on required minimum distributions, ensuring that 100% of their contribution goes toward feeding our neighbors. Lisa explains, “It's incredibly easy—you can set it up online, and the donation goes straight to the Food Bank. It's a simple way to make a big difference." Their story highlights how financial planning and passion for the mission can transform lives. If you're over 70½ and considering a charitable IRA donation, learn more about this impactful giving option at https://lnkd.in/gxk_JmHK. Follow the Nelsons' example and make a lasting difference for our community! https://lnkd.in/gBwZpWnE

👨🎓📚🫶As ever, an informative & very enjoyable presentation by William Hopkin on "Five conundrums for charitable companies". It's such a skill to be able to squeeze so much content & history in a mere hour! The function & role of members & directors of a charitable company can often be confusing, especially where an individual wears both hats. I highly recommend these free educational lectures so do take a look out. Looking forward to attending the upcoming NSC's charities conference & listening to Part 2 in the summer! #nscwebinar #legalupdate #knowledgesharing
