April is #VolunteerAppreciationMonth❤️ When HeadCount was born in 2004, everyone was a volunteer, running the organization in between full-time jobs. Fast forward 20 years, and we’ve grown our volunteer network to over 60,000 people nationwide!
Today, we're highlighting volunteers who have been with us for 10+ years! 🧵
Ann K began volunteering in 2012 after visiting our table at the @davematthewsbnd Caravan in Chicago. She knew it was the perfect fit because she loves music and democracy! She also does voter registration drives at high school because #TheFutureIsVoting. Thank you Ann!
Racheal joined us in 2012 and she's pictured below at her first event as a Team Leader - @VansWarpedTour! When we asked her why she's stuck around so long, she said "Because we need young people engaged and voting now more than ever." We love you, Racheal!
Damian Z has been with us since 2012. He's pictured with his niece, who was 11 at the time they volunteered for Ariana Grande's Sweetener World Tour together. Since then, she's run for school office. Damian volunteers for her & those like her who are the Voice of the Future!
Meet Sara P, joining us in 2012 because she saw how important it was to get people registered to vote so that their voice could be heard. She loves to support people in becoming more civically engaged!
Greg S (@GSarafan), who heard about HeadCount through a friend. When asked what's kept him at HeadCount, Greg said "because of the people. It's the personal relationships that I have made though HeadCount that have kept me giving my time year after year." Thank you, Greg 💖
