Volunteerism is often thought of as something extra, something we do when we have time. But for many, it is a vital expression of connection, purpose, and care. It is how communities grow stronger, how staffing gaps are filled, and how people who might otherwise feel alone are met with compassion and support.
In this conversation, Marie Wenzel, CEO of NAMI Delaware, sits down with Stormy Bell of Art of Volunteering to explore what it means to give your time and energy in meaningful ways. Together, they discuss how volunteerism can be both deeply personal and powerfully collective. NAMI Delaware relies heavily on volunteers to have an impact on mental health initiatives. Volunteers enable us to continue creating space for people to be heard, seen, respected, helped, and educated.
Whether you are a long-time volunteer, someone curious about getting involved, or simply interested in how communities come together to care for one another, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and a reminder that every act of service counts.
Take a moment to listen and consider where your time, talents, and heart might meet a need.
