Time for Change: Revolutionizing Volunteer Programs by RJ Wright

An enlightening 90-minute seminar on “Time for Change,” an innovative volunteer program concept grounded in the co-production principles championed by Edgar Cahn.

This session will delve into the transformative potential within our communities, presenting a vision where nonprofits harness untapped resources to create a surplus of volunteers. Inspired by the belief that every individual has inherent value beyond market metrics, this model reimagines the role of community members.

Discover how shifting from a market-defined value system to one that embraces mutual benefit can revolutionize volunteerism, empowering individuals and strengthening nonprofits. Learn how this approach can lead to unprecedented community engagement and resource optimization, paving the way for a more resilient, interconnected, and thriving community.

About RJ Wright: My life’s narrative is deeply intertwined with the values championed by Edgar Cahn, advocating for a Core Economy that treasures the invaluable – raising children, uniting families, caring for the elderly, rebuilding communities, and nurturing our planet. Enduring personal trials within a family affected by addiction and the heartache of loss have propelled me towards a resolute mission: to revive our community’s heart where the market economy has overlooked its pulse.

Pioneering as my family’s first college graduate, my 20-plus-year career is distinguished by transformative leadership, nationally recognized achievements in sales performance, and organizational development. My journey has been shaped by extensive experience in various leadership and development roles, including coaching and business development. With a rich background in nonprofit advancement strategy and a passion for community development, I am the founder of The Wright Motivation.

The Wright Motivation’s purpose is to equip nonprofits with the tools and guidance that will empower a transition from survival to thriving by revealing they are business entities capable of strategic growth. I dream of a world where we are all partners in building communities that flourish through the strength of human connection. If we are all a part of the puzzle that means we all have a piece to the solution. Presenter’s Website: https://www.thewrightmotivation.com.
